This lovely stitch has so many good points: it can be a filler, a border or edge, it swerves well in curves, it lets you play with two threads, or even three if you want to do the Chain Stitch in two different threads as well. It lets you use threads of different weight, or the Coral Stitch line can be made using a difficult, fluffy or knobbly yarn... Try it out in various ways!
Of course the spacing of the parallell Chains Stitch lines is easiest on Aida.

I saw in your last post that you had quilted 34 blocks since last Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
And your stitch samples are interesting, I like the Aida sample best, the thread weight and color compliment your Tied Chain Stitch.
A very useful stitch I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stitch - good for straight or curved lines.
ReplyDeleteA stitch that takes curves well can be absolutely invaluable, can't it!
