Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 40 - Du Vos Stitch

Another Sunday and another stitch is upon us at Sunday Stitch School.

Do you remember I pleaded for help and asked for information about the '?-Stitch'?
Thank you so much for the feedback.

It is a good linear stitch and will be needed for the next Sunbonnet Sue (next week's lesson).

As no one has given me a name I will nick-name this stitch Du Vos Stitch in honour of the teacher who taught my friend. I think that name is better than Staggered Back Stitch, which is the only other name I could think of.

Work it like this:









On my Aida sampler:

Homework:
You are free to do whatever you like with this stitch, but please NO more poetry!

    Even if I thought I knew a different name, I like your naming. Stick with it!

    j'ai trouvé :
    - le point de tige = stem stitch
    - le point de tige contrarié = outline stitch
    Ils se font tous les deux de gauche à droite
    Mais est-ce là la différence ?
    j'ai vu ça :

    qui ressemble à votre point d'aujourd'hui
    Voilà

      For those who don't read French, here is a translation:
      I found :
      - the stem point = stem stitch
      - the stem point upset = outline stitch
      They are both made from left to right
      But is that the difference?
      I saw that :

      which resembles your point today

      Hi Mattia,
      Thank you for the French names and the link.
      I will have to write up a blog post of the three stitches, Stem, Outline and Du Vos to show the difference.
      Watch this spot.

    I have used this stitch but I just assumed it was stem stitch.

      So you actually stitched it like a staggered Back Stitch?
      Did you learn it in school?

      Sue is already designed, but of course not stitched yet. Soon, though!

    Looks like a right handed regular back stitch to me.
