You are the stitch detective, finding all of the different variations.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice buttonhole variation.
ReplyDeleteThere are always new variations on Blanket Stitch to find, aren't there!
ReplyDeleteAnother great stitch to try. I like the way it looks.
ReplyDeleteYes, Pamela is right! Having different varieties makes embellishing more exciting.
ReplyDeleteThose samplers are looking so detailed.
ReplyDeleteEverything has a buttonhole name. In other words, if You make a round stitch and cut the center, will the button be stopped?
