Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 321 - 325

 Let's review the latest stitches.


321 Cornucopia Chain Stitch

It's a charming and easy stitch.




322 Open Linked Chain Stitch

It looks more complicated than it is.




323 Maltese Cross Stitch

This IS complicated, but once you get used to it, at least it gets EASIER.



324 Raised Spider Chain Stitch

You can choose how much padding you want underneath the spider's web. For a really high dome, use wadding instead of a build-up of thread.




325 Long and Short Stitch

This elegant type of embroidery requires a bit of practice. I am glad I finally added it to the collection of stitches, as it is one of the basic stitches.


Homework:

Let's Sunbonnet Sue illustrate the five stitches.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 321: Cornucopia Chain Stitch

I saw the design for today's stitch on YouTube, but I did not keep the link and can not find it again. Nor do I remember the name of the stitch, if indeed it had one. 

So I have taken the liberty of calling it Cornucopia Chain Stitch. Should you know of an official name, please leave a message in the Comments below.

You might think it resembles #110 Russian Chain Stitch, 

but there are three  Detached Chain stitches at the top, not two, and they are smaller.


Make it like this:


 













Easy and decorative, don't you think?
