Sunday Stitch School - Revision: Stitches 256 - 260
We have just learned another chunk of five stitches, which means it is time for a review and a Sunbonnet Sue sampler.

Although it is a canvas stitch, it also looks good in free-form embroidery.
Vary it in scale and you get a different look.
Arch Stitch could be an alternative name! It's easy but I highly recommend using a fixative for the back to keep the loops in place.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 256: Quill Stitch

Stitch it like this:
