The Split Stitch is another basic stitch that I have overlooked. Mary Corbet at Needle 'n Thread has a video tutorial. She also has some articles comparing the Split Stitch and its sister Split Back Stitch. It is well worth looking at the video and reading the articles. Mary also tells us that the Split Stitch is very useful when we want to add lettering to our work as this stitch makes a tight and even line.

Nice example. There are some stitches, like this one, that I know, but rarely think of using.
Your stitches are so perfect!
And the basis of opus anglicanum, too!
