Stitching Together Babette Blocks

Well, I promised that I would link up to a blog which has great pictures and descriptions of different stitches to use when sewing together the babette blocks. I’ve been unable to locate the blog, but I know it is out there. So I offer up this short pictorial to you, which describes the stitch I am using. I tried to look it up in a crochet book I have, and I couldn’t find it. The closest thing I can compare the stitch to is a Mattress Stitch used in knitting. If anyone has anything that would enlighten me on the subject, I would appreciate it. Sorry I haven’t delivered what I’ve promised, but I hope this will suffice for now!

Here are two blocks that I want to sew together. They are right-side facing.

I turn the blocks to the wrong side in order to do the stitching

To begin, I go up through the back loop of the very left most stitch on each block, which happens to be a SC

My needle is now in position over the topmost square. I move over to the next stitch and through both squares.

While Threading, I am going through the back loop only of each stitch (so from the picture, it is the top loop of each stitch)

Here is the final product. While you will have visible dashes on the wrong side of the babette, the right side will be seamless
