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..

Quilted Fridge pockets with applique and buttonhole stitch

This is my first attempt at Buttonhole stitch and am joining Sharon's TAST challenge on Pintangle..

I quilted a fridge pocket, did some applique work and used buttonhole stitch to make it look brighter. Used some laces to cover the machine stitches...Instructions for this would follow soon....
