It is the TAST stitch #57 this year and your explanation on how to do it helped tremendously.

Often I feel it has sunk in. If not, I might work it on a scrap of fabric, check out other directions from books or the internet, and usually the stitch becomes a bit easier, even if I still don't like it. I have this problem with the Bullioned Vandyke... Maybe it is time to put a few more stitches into that scrap of fabric...<br />Have a beautiful day!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-34449945096616677992014-10-05T02:34:59.877+09:002014-10-05T02:34:59.877+09:00What a lovely card you made from a stitch that you...What a lovely card you made from a stitch that you started out not even liking.

That is why looking at others' efforts is so important.
