The Blanket Stitch is a great way to outline a fabric shape and hold it in place at the same time. It tucks in around a fabric edge holding it safe while biting into the edge of the shape.

Here’s how to make Blanket Stitches: With the thread on top at point A, place the tip of the needle about 1/4″ to the right of point A and up about 1/4″ at a new point, B. Insert the needle at B and exit at C, about 1/4″ up from A.
Trap the thread coming out of A under the needle tip and draw the needle and thread slowly through the fabric.
Point C is now Point A. Repeat the directions above forming a row or following the edge of a shape.
