You know the Fly Stitch:
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.
Work a cluster of French Knots or some Bullion Knots in the cup and you have a nice flower!

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!
ReplyDeleteIf the Knot is instead of the leg, it is called Italian Border, and was a TAST stitch, number 39.
DeleteI like them all!
A simple stitch, Queenie. I like your flower idea too.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
DeleteJe n'ai rien trouvé dans mes livres pour ce point,
ReplyDeleteon peut facilement le traduire par :
- point de mouche torsadé ou point de plume torsadé
Voilà, merci
Mattia
I did not find anything in my books for this point,
Deleteit can easily be translated by:
- twisted fly stitch or twisted feather stitch
There it is, thanks
Thank you Mattia.
A lovely stitch for flowers!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, isn't it? I'll use it tonight on my CQ block.
DeleteI like the twist! Great stitch.
ReplyDeleteA very small difference between the non and twisted version, but the Twisted Fly Stitch has more dimension.
DeleteYes, that stitch could turn into a field of flowers. Then you could add bees and ladybugs.
ReplyDeleteI can see it now, lovely.
A field of flowers, yes, or a vase with a bunch of them.
