The I admit it took me quite a few tries before I was happy with the stitch. My final effort was to hold down the small loop while I juggled the rest. Not as complicated as that sounds and I liked the result.crazyQstitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534395470078739309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-25280982910678137482018-04-22T02:35:00.835+09:002018-04-22T02:35:00.835+09:00Naughty stitch but excellent blue clover.Naughty stitch but excellent blue clover.https://linsartyblobs.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321649853452019532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-34597765297841813302018-04-21T06:48:15.319+09:002018-04-21T06:48:15.319+09:00I think the key to success is choosing the right t...I think the key to success is choosing the right type of thread; something coarse with a nap, wool would probably be great. The clover was stitched in a thread that is not smooth or slippery, so the loops got hooked to each other.<br />However, if I handled the cloth or even washed it I think the clover would wilt and shed its petals.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-14885045599586113252018-04-21T06:44:43.358+09:002018-04-21T06:44:43.358+09:00The first stitches I made gave me no trouble but t...The first stitches I made gave me no trouble but then suddenly the naughty ones came along - I think I must have tugged at the fabric so the lower loops came loose.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-66864965608344879922018-04-21T06:13:56.782+09:002018-04-21T06:13:56.782+09:00'Stand up and walk away'!
