Friday Homework for Lesson 120 - Magic Split Stitch

Let me hand in the homework a few hours early this time.

This stitch is just as easy as the previous one, but does not give you such an impressive look. It does produce a nice thick line if worked in one colour. Use two colours in your needle and you have 'Two Stitches For the Effort of One', one line looks like Stem Stitch and the other Outline Stitch.

Oh ! Oh! the "Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth" stitches are beautiful with these different colors.

It's a remarkably striking effect for little complication, isn't it!

I saw this stitch on a quilt years ago and couldn't figure out how to do it. After seeing your instructions, I used it immediately on some ornaments that I am making.

Line stitches are very useful.
