This stitch is quick and easy, thus the nickname &#8220;baby randa.&#8221; It makes a narrow join that folds easily and looks good on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Step-by-step.<\/p>\n<p>Steps 1-3 are to get started. Thereafter repeat steps 4-6 until complete.<\/p>\n<p>1) Start with thread anchored in Side A, a slight distance from the edge.<\/p>\n<p>2) Insert needle into Side B from above. (Try to maintain the same distance from the edge throughout.) Wrap thread over needle. Pull through gently to form a knot at the edge of Side B.<\/p>\n<p>3) Insert needle under the thread bridge between the two sides and come up through a loop of thread. Needle does not pass through any fabric. Pull gently to form a knot in the gap.<\/p>\n<p>4) Insert needle into Side A from above. Wrap thread over needle. Pull through gently to form a knot at the edge of Side A.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9307 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9623-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9623-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9623.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5) Insert needle into Side B from above.

Don&#8217;t just skim through upper layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to use one length of thread for the whole join. It&#8217;s possible to start again with a new piece of thread but it introduces a little variation in the uniform look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The repetitive stitching abrades the thread, so try not to exert too much force on the thread when pulling it through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the look when the stitches are packed more closely together. The video shows them more stretched out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Join 12 from my joining stitch sampler.
