Blanket Stitch - Joining in a New Thread

To demonstrate this little trick I have used green for the new thread.

On the back of the work, pass the needle through the loop of the new thread...

... then bring the old thread to the back of the work with the next stitch. 

Now take the needle off the old thread and put it on the new thread, and carry on sewing.
