About 20 years ago I attended a machine applique class and liked the blanket stitch used by the owners of Bernina machines. I was using my Singer 401A and was disappointed because it did not have a blanket stitch. After the class when I was home, I looked at my machine and it has a blanket stitch. I did not recognize it and I think I really wanted an excuse to buy a newer machine. That was my excuse to buy a Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 machine.

I found a photo on Printerest of the raised part of a 401A showing all of the stitches that can be created. BO is the blanket stitch. The stitch width can be determined by moving the red stitch width lever. Unfortunately, my 401A is on top of a 3 foot storage unit and has many items on top of the 401A. Hope the above information is helpful. Margaret53, if you need additional information, please let me know.
