Advice

A thicker thread is usually ideal for blanket stitch, because the stitch itself is often a decorative element as well as a method of hemming the end of the fabric.
To blanket stitch around a decorative pointed piece on a quilt, hold the stitches flat by anchoring the stitch to the back of the quilt design and bring the thread up as if it were new thread.
Variations of the blanket stitch include the knotted blanket stitch, the knotted hem, and the chained hem.
Try making it around the edges of a pillow for a nice decorative effect.
