Thank you for your information. I will update the blog posts with your translation.
DeleteI am interested in what you do with this! I visited a castle and saw swords today, but nothing to do with stitching.
ReplyDeleteJapanese swords are beautiful, but I don't like what they are supposed to be used for!
DeleteIt is a very easy stitch, I agree, and you can use it in lots of different ways...
ReplyDeleteYes, easy and quick, and great for filling, stars in the sky, borders....
DeleteAgain, another “new to me” stitch! I googled it, and one of the first in the list was Rachel’s blog.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stitch, I look forward to seeing how you use it.
Hugs,

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!
DeleteI first found this stitch in a past TAST post. It is a very useful stitch, which I didn't think it would be.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteI'm looking forward to see how you use this stitch, which is not so inspirational for me. I only used it in TAST.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
DeleteI agree with your sentiments.
ReplyDeleteAnd soon we'll see how you're going to use this stitch, a border, as a filler or in combination?
Happy Monday!
You will just have to wait and see!
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
