Another nice orderly stitch. I like it.

Those stars are fabulous! I wonder if it could be done on regular fabric.

It makes a good broad line, with a nice curlicue feel to it.

Beautiful tutorial!
And the stars are very attractive. A flashy choice for a border don't you think?

A neat, easy and effective stitch for filling, edges, leaves and many other shapes.
