Friday Homework for lesson 213: Zig-zag Whipped Back Stitch

Not really a freeform stitch, it's better to use the even grid of Aida or even weave fabric. Then the three parallel lines of Back Stitch make a neat and even foundation. Look at my three samplers below and judge for yourself.

You’ve done a great job of making it look neat and even on all three fabrics.

It produces a rather braid-like effect in the end, doesn't it. Even more possibilities when you consider varying the type of threads used...

Zig Zag Whipped Stitch turns out great, your samples are well done with different colors and weights of thread.
