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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Yes, that stitch could turn into a field of flowers. Then you could add bees and ladybugs.
I can see it now, lovely.
A very small difference between the non and twisted version, but the Twisted Fly Stitch has more dimension.
A field of flowers, yes, or a vase with a bunch of them.
