This stitch has turned out to be trickier than I first thought. First of all, it was really hard to do it on Aida. Better use a tightly woven fabric. Secondly, you need to know which part of the loop to keep steady. I hope the following photos will show how:
Place the thread over the needle, then pull the thread slightly towards you.
Tip the needle to shape a loop.
Put your finger on the red star, and tighten the working thread (yellow arrow).
Insert the needle as close to where it came out.

This looks interesting. What do you use the stitch for? It reminds me of bubbles.
ReplyDeleteCould be raindrops?
ReplyDeleteI like the ideas of bubbles and raindrops!
ReplyDeleteLovely 'bubbles' or petals next to your other stitches and colors!
