Below are the five stitches, click on the heading to learn them and see the old posts.
51 Tent Stitch
An old stitch most suitable for canvas.
A smart way to use expensive thread economically and beautifully.
53 Sword Edging Stitch
Oh, so easy, and with great potential!
54 Tramming
I learned from blog readers that this technique was used to mark the design instead of painting the canvas or referring to a chart.
It also gives a very nice raised look to ordinary Cross Stitch and Half Stitch.
55 Tailor's Buttonhole Stitch
This is were I learned the most during these last five stitches. SO many variations and SO enjoyable to watch professionals at work. Check out the videos!
Homework:
As usual the task is to make use of the five stitches on a Sunbonnet Sue design.
Crayon, rubber pad and stranded floss must be included
