We are going to gut another fish while we learn how to work the
Fishbone Stitch! This is different from the Raised Fishbone Stitch,(#61), which we 'gutted' some weeks ago.

In French there are three names:
point d'arête,
point en arête de poisson,
point de passé plat contrarié
Thank you Mattia for the info
Stretch the fabric in a hoop.
Draw a light design, e.g. of a leaf.
Come out at the top left of this stitch,
Mary Corbet has a great video tutorial. Check it out here.

le nom français de ce point est :
- point d'arête (ou point en arête de poisson)
et dans le M.Thomas elle précise :
point de passé plat contrarié
Voilà, beaucoup de nom pour ce joli point

I find it can be hard to keep the angle the same throughout each shape, so it is work paying attention to that!
I like the fish bone stitch, it has so many variations/possibilities just tweaking it a little.
It can easily be turned into a 'fantasy' stitch.
Thank you for these three names in French. I will update the blog post.
I agree it is easy to change the angle by mistake. It could be a good idea to draw two lines on the bias across the leaf as a guidance. Any marks will be covered up with stitches.
Yes, it also makes a nice band or braid.
It is perfect for a leaf.
Does it make the back a bit bulky and take up more thread?
Yes, it is, and will look good together with leaves made with the RAISED Fishbone Stitch, too.
Beautiful stitch! The leaf looks very life like.
Very pretty stitch! Your sampler looks lovely, love the colours too!

Not as bulky or thread consuming as the RAISED Fishbone Stitch.
I think it is one of the best stitches for leaves.
Thank you. Well, green IS a leafy colour!
