Friday Homework for Lesson 114: Ship's Ladder Stitch

This is an easy, yet difficult stitch.
It is easily made up of a line of Running stitches, long on top with a very small bite on the back. The difficulty is in making the slanted Straight stitches equally long and at even angle.
It is easier on Aida or counted weave, very hard on plain weave, where I confess to using a ruler.

    It does look to be a tricky stitch, but in that sneaky way that simple-in-concept becomes far-from-simple in execution!

    Have you ever tried stitching over a strip of graph paper to keep things even? It might work for this stitch.

    I didn't realise it was running stitch until I read your words, I was thinking it was couching.
