How do you tie off at the end of your projects rows when whipstitching? I have an oreo project that I'm working on and it says to leave the corners untouched. There seems to be a huge gap in the photo and I can't tell how they got from one square to the next. This is why I thought I might whipstitch just each square (one side) and finish off each time. Sounds like a pain to me but I have the squares done and I have to get it put together. LOL Thanks much

@klikes99 I turn the needle around and draw the end under the stitches. Leaving corners un-stitched...hmmm... You could draw the yarn through the corner stitch of one of the squares to carry it over to the next one.

@Jennywren7777 I think I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn anf Red Hear Super saver.

make as many rounds as you please. Figure out how big you want your final blanket. Make your squares the size to make the finished joined squares a little smaller than that measurement. Then once they are joined, add a border to make it the size you want.

I know that broderie anglaise is made with whipstitches.

@warden9876 Do you mean the applique technique?
