. . . is the
TAST stitch I tried this week. First I used the aïda from my
needleweaving experiment. The bottom row is the first I made. I made straight stitches with 2 strands of purple DMC and 3 strands of yellow for the knotted buttonholes. The top row is the same, I only used yellow.
This morning I made a variation on my
crazy Monday block. I used 4 strands of DMC for it. The straight stitches are ¼ inch wide and I made a double knotted buttonhole band. The rows on the top and bottom are stitched from left to right. The inside rows are stitched from right to left and decorated with beads. I will show the complete block next Monday.

That is a very nice stitch. It looks very difficult.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt looks difficult, but it is not. If you click the link on "TAST stitch", you can see how it works. Sharon made a great tutorial.
It will be fun to try this new decorative TAST stitch!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, I'm looking forward to use different threads. In this old sample I only used stranded floss, it was all I had at the time.
