Friday Homework for Lesson 357: Whipped Fly Stitch

 I like the Fly Stitch, and I like whipping it! It's an easy way to change the look of the basic stitch. It's an easy way to use threads that are difficult because of their material (fuzzy wool, knobbly linen, flat silk ribbon or sharp metallic...) as they only go over and under the surface part of the base stitch and never need to go through the fabric.


Aida Sampler

A slithery blue rayon(?) thread and a red knobbly and harder cotton thread, impossible to pull through the fabric without destroying both fabric and thread.

Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart

Three strands of brown DMC floss and two strands of blue Appleton embroidery wool.


Red Kimono Silk Scribble Cloth


A purple silk ribbon and a Bunka thread (knitted and quick to unravel) in brown and with metallic strands in it.

    I like this stitch very much and you can make it look so different with the threads you use.

    It's always good to find a stitch that helps to deal with exasperating and tricky threads!

    I like the look of rayon thread but I have to be in the right mood to work with it! It certainly is slithery!
