Arrowhead stitch
The TAST stitch for week
48 is arrowhead stitch. I stitched another 2 x 2 inch sampler on my Aida. First
I made stacked rows of arrowhead stitches with different threads. From top to
bottom: 2 threads of stranded floss, perle 8, Stef Francis spun silk with
flames, 4 threads of stranded silk, perle 12 and perle 5.
Here I made arrowhead
stitches with perle 5 and detached chain stitches with
2 threads of stranded floss.
Four rows of arrowhead
stitches with Stef Francis spun silk with flames. I decorated it with small bugle
beads and stitched straight stitches inside both outside rows with stranded
silk.
I found this threaded
arrowhead stitch in module 5 of Sharon’s stitch files. It’s done in perle 5.
Take a closer look at my
complete sampler here.

Die met de kralen erin vind ik heel bijzonder.

Beautiful- especially the colours are great!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPerfect samples -as you always make them.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI thought this stitch would always have a sharp look but by blending in Detatched Chain stitches or thread them the get a much softer look. The Arrowhead stitch also changes a lot with the angle; I think my favourite is the sharp one worked with bugle beads.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is always a pleasure to look at work.
you always manage to push the stitch further and give inspiration to the rest of us, agree with Queenie re the softness.
