It is time for a stitch found in Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, in the Isolated Stitches section.
Let's learn and play with Reversed Fly Stitch.
Updated: Mattia tells me there are two French names - Point de Blume Inversé or Point de Mouche Inversé.
It's easy to learn - just make a Fly Stitch, and on top of that a mirrored Fly Stitch.
You can play around with the length and width of the stitches, make a smaller stitch op top of a larger one, and so on.
Homework: Play!

I'll be interested to see you find a use for this one. It's quite geometric, sin't it...
Le point de cette semaine s'appelle en français :
- Point de plume inversé ou point de mouche inversé
Voilà

Interesting stitch! I use the fly stitch often enough but haven't tried this before.
It has been a while since I did Reversed fly. It was fun and quick to do. I like how you the tumbled the Corded Bars.
Interesting results. I expect we will see this again down the road.
