Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 97: Satin Threaded Chain Stitch

Today I will show you a neat and easy stitch from Anchor's book on Crewel Embroidery, introduced to me by  CrazyQstitcher. She is such a source of stitches and ideas. Thank you, Maureen.

Work Satin Threaded Chain Stitch like this:

Make a line of Chain Stitch.


Anchor the last stitch.


Turn the work and
come out below the last Chain Stitch.

Thread the link, not catching any of the  fabric.

Go in a bit to the left, so you have two 'legs'.

Continue 'pinning legs to the caterpillar', long or short, as you please.

Homework:
Infest the
Aida Sampler, Sunday Stitch Reference Chart and Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
with caterpillars!
