Oh, I just love the Knotted Running Stitch! I love the look of it, and the way it is worked, especially since I experienced and made an even easier way. I just turned the work around and worked towards me! SO much easier!
This is the method I showed last Sunday's lesson, with the needle going away.
I turned the work around and stitched towards me:
Here is the homework:
Aida sampler
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
One con, the knots don't sit well on a sharp turn of the Running Stitch line (blue).
Linen Fabric:
Yes, some stitches don't take some sorts of curves well - but that is what a sampler is for, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteSpot on! The reference chart should show problematic areas, and if the chart isn't lined, you can also see how the stitches look at the back, where to start and stop and how best to fasten the thread.
DeleteI like the stitched linen.
ReplyDeleteI especially like how the different weight of thread with the variety of stitches make it look like a sampler!
DeleteYou're making it your own, 'owning' it.
ReplyDeleteThe linen piece is attractive.
Thank you!
DeleteI can see how the second version is easier to stitch. Less fiddly wrapping the thread and I imagine faster too.
ReplyDeleteI like every stitch you'd added to the linen. It is a beautiful keepsake as well as a sampler..
I was so happy to find the second, easier version!
DeleteI like this stitch, very versatile.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great linear stitch.
