I am interested in what you do with this! I visited a castle and saw swords today, but nothing to do with stitching.
It is a very easy stitch, I agree, and you can use it in lots of different ways...
Again, another “new to me” stitch! I googled it, and one of the first in the list was Rachel’s blog.
Interesting stitch, I look forward to seeing how you use it.

Thank you for your information. I will update the blog posts with your translation.
Japanese swords are beautiful, but I don't like what they are supposed to be used for!
Yes, easy and quick, and great for filling, stars in the sky, borders....
I have often seen people wondering what the name of this stitch is. As it looks like a cross it is easy to think it is a Cross stitch!
I first found this stitch in a past TAST post. It is a very useful stitch, which I didn't think it would be.
I'm looking forward to see how you use this stitch, which is not so inspirational for me. I only used it in TAST.
I agree with your sentiments.
And soon we'll see how you're going to use this stitch, a border, as a filler or in combination?
Happy Monday!
I tried this in TAST 2012. It is an easy one to do and I'm certain you'll come up with a good design on a homework sampler.
I didn't know it was a TAST stitch! I have found it used in 2010's version of TAST; I missed it as I first took part in 2012.
I was first told by Carorose about it being a TAST stitch. It was used before I joined in TAST so I missed it. What a pity!
You will just have to wait and see!
I didin't know it was a TAST stitch and had I known I wouldn't have included it. Well never mind, it is a first for ME at least!
