On the cloth I used for the instructions last Sunday, I showed how to fill in the stitches in two ways, with the traditional Bayeux Stitch (on the right in the picture below) and the altered Bemmy Stitch (on the left), great for curvy lines.
On the cloth there remained the markings for another leaf.
I also worked a more traditional Bayeux design.
and finally I added the stitch to my Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart.
The Bayeux Stitch does not look very good worked in Perle! Wool is the thing for this stitch!

Stunning stitching.
You're right, Bayeux stitch looks much better in wool!
Very well done!
Thank you!
The fluffy fibers help to cover the background.
Thanks!
Lovely work and you're right about the wool.
Lovely examples, Queenie!

Such a pretty filling stitch, I like your Bayeux design.
Wool is really great for filling stitches as the fluff hides the fabric underneath the stitches so well.
Thanks!
It is a nice filling stitch.
