Chain stitch

The TAST stitch for week 8 is the chain stitch. I made 3 samples on Aida. The first sample was inspired by Deepa’s chain stitch filling. It’s 3 rows of stacked chain stitches. First I made the 2 purple rows and then I stitched a yellow row through the purple rows and the fabric. Then I attached a bead inside the yellow stitches. I took some photo’s of this process as a reminder for myself, but I could write a tutorial. Just leave a comment below if you would like that. The second sample is a simple chain stitch filling. I stitched the yellow rows from left to right and the purple row from right to left. The last sample is stitched in perle 12, the first 2 were done in perle 8. I put a sequin on my needle before I put it through the loop of the chain stitch.

Added March 3: I wrote a tutorial for the stacked chain stitch. You can find it here.

  4. The sequins attached with the chain stitch looks brilliant. A tute on the beaded one would be great. Dianne.
