Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 122: Needle Weaving Bar

If you have taken part in TAST you will probably have made Needle Woven Picots. Today we will weave a bar in a similar fashion. I found the Needle Weaving Bar in Embroidery Stitches A - Z 1.

First make a loop.


Instead of a pin, use a thread (green) to loop


and stretch the (purple) thread.
Take the purple thread out in the first hole.

Weave up

and down over the two purple bars.

When you reach the end

release the purple thread from the green loop.

Stretch the bar, 
or let it form an arch, 
or twist it to form a 'screw'.
Then anchor it. 


Remove the green loop thread.

Homework:
Add to these three samplers

This is one of those stitches I am fascinated by, but have never quite managed to make use of...

Well done! This stitch can be used for a variety of 3-d effects. There is an Australian embroiderer, I must find her name again! And she uses this stitch in her work often.
