Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 66: Berwick Stitch

Welcome to another lesson. Today we are getting to know a cousin of the Buttonhole Stitch, Berwick Stitch, which I found in Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches.

Updated:
Also called Tailored Blanket Stitch according to Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials and in French, according to Mattia, Torso Festoon Point. No Swedish name to my knowledge.

Work it like this:

The closer you work the stitches the 'knottier' the line becomes. 

Keep the tension, and avoid having to unstitch - it's a knotty stitch!

Homework, as usual, add stitches to these three pieces.
