Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 369: Single Wave Stitch

When I introduced #355 Double Wave Stitch I promised I would do a single version, too. Here it is - #369  Single Wave Stitch.

It is registered in Mary Thomas's Dictionary Of Embroidery Stitches as Wave Stitch Filling, and in The Embroidery Stitch Bible it is known as Wave Stitch.


Work it like this:





By using the same holes, you get a continuous wavy line, 

here seen in brown.







Homework:

Make some waves on these samplers.

Hi Carin, I haven't been able to leave a comment here in a couple of days, I don't know why?? I'll try again..
The Wave Stitch, single or double, is a beautiful stitch. It's a good geometric filler or border stitch. I like it.

Another one that is easier on an evenweave!
