Click here for the tutorial of Fancy Herringbone Stitch, which I will add as number 143 in my collection.
TAST 143 Fancy Herringbone Stitch is made up of three parts, a base of Herringbone Stitches (pink) is held held down with small Upright Cross Stitches (red) and then laced in a fancy way (light blue ).
It wasn't difficult, but with all laced stitches, tension is tricky, and my result looks sloppy.
I also worked a set of stitches on my TAST Reference Chart. Later I will add the label with number and name.
Here the tension is a bit better, so there is hope for further improvement in the future! I hope!

looks good putting me to shame must start on the tast again, I took all my samples in to show a lady who has just signed up to pintangle it was good to look at them again
This is a very pretty stitch. I think it would be great along a seam on a crazy quilt.
How long is it since you did any Hardanger? TAST? Time to start again?
Yes, it is a fancy stitch that belongs on a cq.
You're stitches are very neat!
I hope they will be neater with more practice.
I love your stitch blog, just wondering how you print out your labels for the TAST reference chart?
Hi.
I make a list of the numbers and names on a word-processing program, then print them out on iron on fabric (this kind of fabric comes in packs of 10 A4- sheets and has a back of paper to stabilize the sheet in the printer). I cut out the number and name, iron it onto the little box with the TAST stitch sample on the Reference Chart. Finally I stitch it down with clear nylon thread.
Beautiful! The colors you worked with are beautiful. Lovely stitching!
Thank you! I had to re-do the stitch once because the colours didn't show off.
