This stitch is not difficult to stitch, but it IS hard to keep the loose thread loops fixed at the same height. As soon as possible, please paint the stitch line on the reverse side with an agent that will stiffen and fix the line in place. I used water-diluted bond, but you can also use clear nail varnish or something similar.

Work In Progress Wednesday reports on a good reason to celebrate. Look at Hexablooms, below:
Hexablooms
I have made the final hexagon piece.
Here is the list of things yet to do:
1) join the blocks together into a long 'snake' = row #17
2) add the long snake to row #16, and the flimsy will be complete
3) stitch on a turn-over binding edge for the backing.
4) sandwich with batting and backing, or think of a creative new idea for the back...
5) quilt with embroidery stitches, using metallic thread
6) embellish the white pieces with something metallic
7) add some form of hanging sleeve
78) display on the wall
What year shall we set the goal at? 2027 or 2028?

The cloth is slowly gaining stitches, a small step at a time.

I found the Looped Stem Stitch among Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials.
Simply by its name, it is not hard to imagine how to make the Looped Stem Stitch and what the result looks like. Just in case, have a look at either Sarah's link above or my picture tutorial below.
If you feel you have seen a similar stitch, you are not wrong. From Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials, we previously learned #259 Raised Seeding Stitch
Homework:
Add to the three samplers
I have now compared the #43 Moss Stitch and the #371 Cross and Twist Stitch. I find that the latter is far easier to perform.
