A few weeks ago I posted a tutorial on how to add crocheted embellishments onto existing fabric. (Specifically, adding length to the bottom of an old denim skirt using crochet.) I knew there were several ways I could attach the crochet to the denim and chose the way I thought it worked best with the materials I was using. Today, at Pepperberry Crochet, I followed a link to a great tutorial on another way to do it… a simple crochet edging on lighter fabric, attached with blanket stitch instead of directly crocheting into the fabric. I may just have to try this out soon too!

Wasn’t that a great tutorial? I really love the blanket stitch attachment. I can also see that being a little bit of a problem, because as you’re working into the top of the blanket stitch, you’re pulling the thread away from the fabric a little. I think it’s great there are so many methods for attachment.
