This is such a pretty stitch! It is easy, as well. The demerit is that it is a thread eater. There is more thread on the back than on the front!

I used only the light blue colour thread for this stitch, unlike all the other stitch samplers, which are done in both blue and brown.
Even scaled down, this is a stitch that takes up space.
It is a lovely stitch for a border.

I needed to mark the lines with tailoring chalk, but once that was done, the stitching was plain sailing.
I would definitely need a line mark of where to stitch
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty, especially with the variegated thread.
ReplyDeleteYes, this makes a charming border stitch!
