Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 81 - 85
We have completed another set of five stitches and it is time for a revision.
Click on the headlines to read about and learn each stitch.
81 Reversed Fly Stitch
Easy. Two Fly Stitches are stitched together, either entwined or just touching.
82 Bokhara Couching
A filling stitch that can be neat and even, or free form, depending on the fabric you stitch on.
83 Mennonite Tack Stitch
A quilting stitch used for frugal, quick and utilitarian quilting.
84 Star Darn Stitch
Much easier than it looks. Perfect for Christmas ornaments.
85 Wrapped Cross Stitch
NOT a favorite stitch of mine, but quite plump and outstanding.
Homework:
Use these five stitches to make a Sunbonnet Sue Sampler picture.
This time I are sticking to the traditional style with a young and chubby Sue.

Friday Homework for Lesson 83: Mennonite Tack Stitch
This stitch is easy and you will soon stitch 'fluently'.
Aida Sampler
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
For this I used a lovely thread. It is a 'knitted' thread, in Japan called 'Bunka', but I got it as a gift from a friend in Australia, and I have no idea what it is called there.
The thread is variegated and has metal fibers added. I LOVE this look!

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 83: Mennonite Tack Stitch
There are so many things happening in December as the year comes to a close. So let's have an easy stitch this Sunday here at Sunday Stitch School.
Let's take a stitch out of Elizabeth Healey's excellent book Stitch, Fabric & Thread - the Mennonite Stitch.
This stitch is often used in Utility Quilting, i.e. a simple and fast way of keeping the three layers of a quilt, top, back and wadding together by stitching individual stitches on the surface and letting the thread travel inside the wadding to the next stitch.
It is a 'rough' form of quilting, but the Mennonite Tack Stitch can be used for embroidery, too.
This is how to work it:
