Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 53: Sword Edging Stitch

I don't know if this is an 'antique' stitch with any history, but the name, Sword, makes me think it is old. Who fights with a sword these days? Occasionally the Japanese maffia, yes, but in wars? With all the focus on robots, drones and self-driving vehicles, we will soon have wars where people fight with remote controls..... Horrid past, horrid future. Let's not fight!

With this easy stitch there will not even be any fighting between the needle and the fabric!

Work the Sword Edging Stitch like this:

Easy and quick. It makes a nice individual stitch.

Homework:

Add a few stitches to the SSS Reference Chart.

Fill a row on the Aida Sampler.

Do something creative on the orange scribble cloth.
