I certainly didn't have much time again today to stitch but I did a couple of seams. The pink seam on the left is Raised Chain Band and the smaller pink seam (in the middle) is the Alternating Diagonal Stitch both from the book "A-Z Embroidery Stitches 2". I really like the chain band but will never repeat the alternating stitch. It might just be removed the next time you look at it!
the raised chain band is neat -- I love the sense of a knot in the middle. When I looked at the alternating stich band I must admit to seeing messy satin stitch... maybe I'm just blind
ReplyDeleteLike the chain band - waiting with interest to see what happens to the alternating stitch.
ReplyDeleteWhat they said :} I LOVE the texture of that chain-will have to add it to the repertoire :}
ReplyDeleteI'd use it *everywhere*.
