The Fishbone Stitch was easier to work than the
Raised Fishbone Stitch (#61), it gives a flatter look and does not gobble up as much thread, although it does have an appetite for it.

I tried to make some leaves, difficult on Aida, and a line of stitches.
Compare the blue Fishbone Stitch with the Raised Fishbone Stitch in brown six stitches up.

And it is easier to stitch in a perle thread than in 2 strands of floss, as I have just discovered.
I see the bones, but no fish. Too hot for swimming maybe...
As you say, tricky to do leaves on aida, but it does create quite a good, light, geometric feel...
Good discovery.
If spaced wider it would look like a set of fish bones, it is mostly used for leaves and stitched close together.
Modern leaves, eh?
Nice stitching and your sampler, reference chart and scribble cloth look great.
Thank you.
