There is a wonderful book by Marion Scoular entitled "Advice is for listening to--not necessarily taking!!" She devotes several pages (with illustrations) to the difference between blanket stitches (used in Hardanger edgings, among other applications) and buttonhole stitches, which actually get a knot at the fabric edge of each stitch. Impossible to describe in words, unfortunately. If you know anyone who does embroidery, or are near an embroidery guild, you might be able to take a look at this book--pages 38 and 42.
