Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 67: Fishbone Stitch

I know this is called Sunday STITCH School, but today we are once again dealing with something that could be seen as COOKING, or rather, FOOD PREPARATION.
We are going to gut another fish while we learn how to work the
Fishbone Stitch! This is different from the Raised Fishbone Stitch,(#61), which we 'gutted' some weeks ago.

Updated:
In French there are three names:
point d'arête,
point en arête de poisson,
point de passé plat contrarié

Thank you Mattia for the info

Stretch the fabric in a hoop.
Draw a light design, e.g. of a leaf.

 Take a Straight Stitch in the mid vein.
Come out at the top left of this stitch,

 insert the needle at the bottom right

 repeat on the other side, out at top right and in at bottom left

 Continue in the same way until you have filled the shape.

 You can take a Straight Stitch for the stem (petiole).

Cross, cross, cross... that's all you need to do.

Mary Corbet has a great video tutorial. Check it out here.

Homework:

Add the stitch to these three items.
