French name: Point Zig-zag en Croix.
I have found it in several books and tinkered with it before. It is easy and fun.
Work it like this:
Take a double straight stitch at the end of the row, then begin the return journey.
On my Aida sampler I made the mistake of using variegated thread, NOT a good idea.
Homework:
Fill a square on this 'fake' canvas. There should be no problem, this time!?

All the way through the alphabet. Nice job!
It looks almost like a little fence, doesn't it!
If there had been easy-to-find stitches beginning with the three last letters in the Swedish alphabet, Å, Ä Ö, I would have had three more alphabet stitches. I have not found any such stitches and don't want to create any more just yet. There are so many real stitches out there.
An easy one (as if the others were not) to finish the term. I have just enough space to complete the alphabet.
Yes, a fancy fence, and if you made one section a wee bit larger or in a different colour you would have the gate, too!
Easy and fun. I've already completed my homework!
I like that stitch in solid and variegated. I think a whole block of it would be gorgeous.
Queenie you really are an expert of sharing instructions they are so clear and detailed
Bonjour,
Voici le nom français pour ce joli point, que je n'ai jamais utilisé :
- Point zigzag en croix
et le point précédent, je n'ai rien trouvé bien sûr,
je dirais en point en Y
Voilà
Mattia
Thank you Mattia,
I will update the post.
The instructions are simply photos, but I hope they are clear.
A whole block of it is interesting, as if you can't see the single stitch it is build up of.
I'm sure this will be a nice filling stitch on your sampler.
Filling that square did not take long and I am pleased with the result. I'll post it on Friday.
Lovely stitches and good explanations!
