Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 316: Detached Wheatear Stitch



Welcome back to one more set of five new stitches. 

The first one is what you get if you work an individual section of a stitch that is usually worked in a line or group with others of the same sort. So stitch a single Wheatear Stitch and you have the Detached Wheatear Stitch.

I found it at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials where there is a video.

Here are my photo instructions:

I’ve stitched the wheatear stitch in a line, but never thought about single detached stitches. I’ll look for a way to use it.

Good tutorial on closed Wheatear Stitch. It can look like a lot of different animal heads, maybe a rabbit or a long horned cow, maybe an insect?

I don't think I have ever tried wheat's ear as a single! It looks great!

Yes, it's a good thought to break a line stitch into isolates. I wonder what other stitches that might work for?
