hey I've seen in the past you recommend embroidering the edges of fraying shirt cuffs and I love the look of it... but I can't figure out what kind of stitch is used? I tried looking on google and ur blog but didn't see it ):
Embroidering frayed sleeve cuffs
If I've got the right stitch in mind, it's the blanket stitch. Check Embroidery for Beginners for a text tutorial and Red Ted Art for a video tutorial. The blanket stitch is used to finish off raw edges, but can also be used in a decorative way.
You could also try a whipstitch, as demonstrated in text by The Spruce Crafts and in video by Rokolee DIY. It's usually used to sew two layers of fabric together, but can also be used as a decorative element.
A blanket stitch will be stronger, but will have a defined ridge which the whipstitch won't have.
