I read
Sharon B’s PinTangle blog and one of the weekly features is Take A Stitch
Tuesday. She shows an embroidery stitch and invites her readers to try it out. Last week’s stitch was the buttonholed
herringbone and I decided to join in. This looks like a great way to learn new
stitches or practice ones you already know. I used an evenweave 28 count fabric
and #5 perle cotton.
The first
scallop turned out to look the best. I
think I used more buttonhole stitches on that set. I’ll have to remember to make the stitches
very snug the next time I try it.
TAST is a great way to learn new stitches and use the ones one already knows in a new, fresh way.
ReplyDeleteOne of the real advantages with an online project like this is that participants are from all corners of the world and share their way of seeing the stitches. It is nice to have another 'Japanese' in the group; I live in Tokyo.
