Reversed Chain has proven to be easy and adding Buttonhole stitches to the edges was not difficult either.
Personally, I like the Reversed Chain Stitch better than the standard Chain Stitch. It is important to remember that the former requires the fabric to be stretched in a hoop whereas the latter can be worked in the hand. Also that if you want to work quickly standard Chain Stitch is faster.
Now for adding Buttonhole Edging... you can of course do that to both stitches.
Actually, I have already done a version of 'Chain Stitch with Buttonhole Edging' - #78 Interlaced Chain Stitch, see the tutorial here. In that version, you first complete the lacing,
As you will see below, there is no difference in looks to the 'un-anchored' part so only the stitcher will know which type of Chain Stitch the Buttonhole lacing has been added to.
Anyway, here is today's homework:

Chain stitch is one of old time favourites. I can't remember doing reversed chain stitch [but could have]
ReplyDeleteIt makes a good "fake braid", doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteI don’t usually work with a hoop, so this wouldn’t be a “go to” stitch for me. Yours looks nice.
ReplyDeleteSo fancy! Beautiful samples.
ReplyDeleteYour colour choices are striking!
