Click on the title to see the stitch instructions.

331 Astrakhan Velvet Stitch

To make loops of even lengths for this stitch, use a pin.

332 Irregular Algerian Eyelet Star Stitch

With this stitch, you can make a sun, a star, a snowflake, an explosion...

333 Damask Darning Stitch

This is a beautiful Canvas stitch made up of two simple straight stitches, one vertical, the other horisontal. Yet it is hard to get it neat unless you use a grid for guidance.

334 Pachis Work Filling Stitch

Here is one of the great Indian stitches; again, only very simple parts are needed. Like the previous stitch, a grid is the key to success.

335 Hungarian Braided Chain Stitch

Some stitches come alive. This rich braided stitch can wiggle its way  across your foundation fabric,

Homework:

Queenie: Sunbonnet Sue, how on earth can I make a sampler out of these five stitches?

Sue: Trust me, you can. Just wait and see!
