Today, we are going to learn from one of the best embroidery teachers there is - Mary Corbet of Needle 'n Thread.
Mary always encourages her readers to play with stitches and has created a series of tutorials called Stitch Fun.
Here at Sunday Stitch School, we previously learned one of her Stitch Fun stitches, #144 Raised Daisy Stitch and now it is time for the Raised Spider Daisy Stitch.
It is a cousin of, or at least looks similar to, TAST #115 Whipped Long Tail Chain Stitch, but note that today's stitch is not based on the Long Tail Chain, but the Lazy Daisy Stitch.
Please check out Mary Corbet's Stitch Fun tutorial here.
