This week Sharon's challenge for TAST is Chain stitch.. I tried the following patterns of creating lines, curves, combination with other stitches, borders and also tried filling with chain stitch...
Earlier done on chain stitch -
Detatched chain stitch
This week's stitch for TAST challenge by Sharon is Detatched Chain stitch..This is quite an easy one, however practice would make the stitch look more beautiful and symmetric.
Here are my samples for the stitch
Buttonhole stitch tutorial and sampler
Buttonhole stitch looks very good for borders and adjusting the lengths while doing gives beautiful designs.
Bring up the needle at A, down at B and up at C with thread to the right of the needle, again down at D and up at E with thread to the right side and so on..
Some of the variations tried by adjusting lengths..
Feather stitch tutorial and sampler
Feather stitch is a bit similar to Fly stitch, but worked in continuity unlike fly stitch.
Bring up the needle at A, down at B while keeping the thread behind the needle, up at C, down at D, up at E with thread behind the needle and so on.
Some of the designs in feather stitch
Have a look at closed feather stitch too - a variation of feather stitch
Fly stitch tutorial and sampler
Fly stitch is a very simple embrodiery stitch and to do the stitch, bring up the needle at A, down at B, up at C with thread behind the needle and down at D again. This completes one single stitch and combination of fly stitches in various ways bring in lot of variety in the stitches.
Some of the variations tried with Fly stitch
