The loop on the Hedebo stitch is made differently and I always forget so have to check it out before I start. The Buttonhole loop is very straight forward and I like them both.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-10925105562191863942013-03-03T06:28:34.926+09:002013-03-03T06:28:34.926+09:00That is a lovely sampler.

I had unravelled a thread and I must have done away with the twist. Also the distance between each loop was only .5cm which didn't give it time to get out of line. It was rather similar to the Beaded Hedego <br />Edge Stitch but I think I like it better.carorosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976291590807462068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-26921181353150071932013-03-03T05:22:22.218+09:002013-03-03T05:22:22.218+09:00Guess I should have read your tips before stitchin...Guess I should have read your tips before stitching my buttonholed herringbone, but thanks for the tips and links.Lins Artyblobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622271221153290281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-85435992901479617892013-03-02T22:31:57.487+09:002013-03-02T22:31:57.487+09:00I am looking forward to your work, once you have f...I am looking forward to your work, once you have finished.<br />We all stitch in different ways and I found out that I often 'play' with the needle and rolled it between min fingers, restlessness?, and then saw that the twist got worse or better.
