Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 330: Pueblo Stitch

 Do you remember #119 Alternating Magic Split Stitch and #120 Magic Split Stitch?

Today, we will learn Pueblo Stitch, which is quite similar.

Instructions for Pueblo Stitch can be found in many places, on YouTube and at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials as well as at Arts&Design under Pueblo Stitch.

Q: So what differs between Alternating Magic Split Stitch and Pueblo Stitch? 

A: The placement of the needle!

Compare the picture of Alternating Magic Split Stitch with the photo of Pueblo Stitch.

In Alternating Magic Split Stitch, the tip of the needle 
comes out inside the previous 'Chain Stitch'.

In Pueblo Stitch, the tip of the needle comes out in the
hole just outside the 'Chain Stitch'. 

Here is my photo tutorial.

You need two threads of different colours on the needle.

Take a Back Stitch by splitting the threads, red on the left and blue on the right. 

Pull the threads through.

Change the threads over, blue on the left and red on the right. 

Take a Back Stitch and exit in the hole at the bottom of the 'Chain Stitch'.

Alternate by changing the coloured threads over.

Continue. Anchor the last stitch.

Homework:

Try to squeeze in a line of Pueblo Stitch on your samplers. The Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth is getting fuller and fuller. Is there any space left?
