Welcome to Sunday Stitch School where we have another lesson and a new stitch for you. It is called Herringbone Ladder Stitch and is a filling stitch. Like so many other great stitches it comes from Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials, see her instructions here.
Below you can see mine:

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.
Nice neat stitches, and those stars are fantastic.
