Friday Homework for Lesson 102: Knotted Sheaf Stitch

This is a great stitch, it works up fast and the knot keeps all threads in place.
On Aida or even weave you need an odd number of Straight Stitch to find the middle whole for the knot.

Aida Sampler

On plain weave and in free form embroidery, you can use any number of straight stitches, and eyeball the middle.

I think I prefer the look of a sheaf of four or five straight stitches. Also the wider you space the straight stitches, the more of a bow tie or bow ribbon you get.
