Wow, in the past week, I've learned 2 different things - things you
would think I would have known after all the years I've been sewing.

I learned what one of the stitches on my machines was for (and I've
had it for 17 years!!),

What was the stitch?

Well, just looking at it, I thought, "oh, just another zig zag
stitch"...turned out to be a blanket stitch! LOL Had I played with
it a little more, I would have saved myself a LOT of trouble with some
past projects. What can I say....I use straight stitch, standard zig
zag, stretch stitches - those are all to the right on my stitch
selector. The blanket stitch was to the left....guess I should
explore the rest of the stitches over there...lol.

*No political leanings should be gleaned from the above statement -
politics will NOT be discussed on one of my favorite groups....at
least not by me
