Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 270: Spaced Buttonhole Filling Stitch

 This version of the Buttonhole Stitch was found in  Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches.

You can work it fixed to the foundation fabric or detached. Today we will work the former.


In the first row, work from left to right.

Make two Buttonhole Stitches next to each other,


Make enough space to evenly place two stitches in the row below.

Make two more stitches.


Continue this way to the end of the row.

Anchor the last stitch

Work a similar row below the first one, but 
work from right to left.

Anchor the last stitch.

The closer you place the stitches, the more 
of the foundation fabric will be filled.

Spaced Buttonhole Filling Stitch is easy and fast. Enjoy it!

    I like this stitch. I tend to like the orderly even ones.

    Great stitching! Your Spaced Buttonhole Filling Stitch tutorial is excellent.
    And good progress on Green Man, interesting variation, in your previous post.
    The stacked Queen Stitch is a good way to use that stitch I think.
    Have a good stitching day!

    Very clear photos and stitch instructions!
    Spaced buttonhole filling would make an interesting alternative to a laid lattice for a fence or decorative netting.
