and so today we will be learning #290 Threaded Herringbone Stitch which I found in Betty Barnden's The Embroidery Stitch Bible.

It is not a difficult stitch. 

Start off with a section of Herringbone Stitch.

Change to a different coloured thread. Come out just where the threads cross at the bottom of the line.

Go underneath the bottom right 'foot'.

Then do the same to the next 'foot'. Make sure you don't enter the fabric.

At the end of the line, anchor the thread.

Turn the embroidery around and repeat on the other side.

Voila!
