Never heard of it? I must confess I haven't either. If you have, and know its real name, please leave a comment below.
Until now I have presented the stitches in an alphabetical order and we have reached Q.
I have found two stitches beginning with this letter, the Queen Stitch, better known as Rococo Stitch and Quick Stitch, which is a woven stitch.
Instead of using either, this time I played with the idea of forming a stitch in the shape of the letter Q.
Well, a Detached Chain Stitch with loose tension and anchored with a tilted tail would make a capital Q, wouldn't it?
Work it like this:
A row of Qs on Aida.
Homework:
A lesson in penmanship!
Practice your Qs.

Interesting! First time I have heard of this stitch. Reminds me of something my grandmother used to say - "Mind your P's and Q's".
how cool is that you now have a stitch you have invented I wonder when it will appear in new stitch books
That's an improvisational stitch if I ever saw one!
There's a lot you could do with that, skies the limit.
I have never seen it either, and I just MIGHT have invented it!!!
This is interesting reading of 'mind your P's and Q's': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_your_Ps_and_Qs
WHICH is the original meaning!?
Ha, ha!
What about the P's? The two are nornally seen together.
I agree, you can use this stitch for many things. Right now I am scribbling my penmanship homework!
Yes, how can I mind my P's? I will have to have a little think about this!
That's a creative stitch!
I think it has a lot of potential.
I worked on this stitch sampler today.

Thank you,

I had a look, and am speechless! You come up with the most fantastic variations. The Twisted Chain Q Stitch is especially impressive.
