Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 71: Twisted Fly Stitch

Welcome to an evening class at Sunday Stitch School. Sorry to be late, and sorry this will be a short lesson.

You know the Fly Stitch:

 The thread goes UNDER the needle.

Today's stitch is the twisted version, which actually is a Detached Twisted Chain Stitch (#56) with a LONG LEG. I found it in Embroidery Stitches A-Z 1.

 The thread goes OVER and UNDER the needle.

Work a cluster of French Knots or some Bullion Knots in the cup and you have a nice flower!
