Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 71: Twisted Fly Stitch

Welcome to an evening class at Sunday Stitch School. Sorry to be late, and sorry this will be a short lesson.

You know the Fly Stitch:
 The thread goes UNDER the needle.



Today's stitch is the twisted version, which actually is a Detached Twisted Chain Stitch (#56) with a LONG LEG. I found it in Embroidery Stitches A-Z 1.

 The thread goes OVER and UNDER the needle.



Work a cluster of French Knots or some Bullion Knots in the cup and you have a nice flower!

Homework for Friday:

Updated: 
Mattia suggested these two names in French:
point de mouche torsadé   or
point de plume torsadé

There is a way of creating a knot around the needle as well - in case you needed any more experiments to do!

If the Knot is instead of the leg, it is called Italian Border, and was a TAST stitch, number 39.
I like them all!

A simple stitch, Queenie. I like your flower idea too.

Queeniepatch said...

This stitch is not too different from the ordinary Fly Stitch, but if you work it in a thick thread you can see that it is not the same.

Je n'ai rien trouvé dans mes livres pour ce point,
on peut facilement le traduire par :
- point de mouche torsadé ou point de plume torsadé
Voilà, merci
Mattia

A lovely stitch for flowers!

Queeniepatch said...

I did not find anything in my books for this point,
it can easily be translated by:
- twisted fly stitch or twisted feather stitch
There it is, thanks

Thank you Mattia.

Yes, it is, isn't it? I'll use it tonight on my CQ block.

I like the twist! Great stitch.

Janie said...

Yes, that stitch could turn into a field of flowers. Then you could add bees and ladybugs.
I can see it now, lovely.

Queeniepatch said...

A very small difference between the non and twisted version, but the Twisted Fly Stitch has more dimension.

Queeniepatch said...

A field of flowers, yes, or a vase with a bunch of them.
