The TAST stitch for this
week is raised herringbone band. I found this stitch in my embroidery books as
raised lattice band. The only difference was the satin stitch. The raised
lattice band has a padded satin stitch and I thought this might help to keep
the lacing thread in the right place. I took a photo of today’s embroidery on
the page of my TAST 2010 fabric book with the raised herringbone band.
I stitched my new rows on 18 count evenweave. The padded satin stitch
in the first row is done with a full thread of stranded floss. The herringbone
stitch is done with Caron Watercolours, the lacing with perle 5. I was right
about the satin stitch, the padding helps to keep the lacing thread in the
right place.
The second row is a
variation. In my embroidery book the twisted lattice band was next to the
raised lattice band. So I stitched a raised twisted lattice band. I wrote a
tutorial for it, you can find it here.
The padded satin stitch
in the last row is done with a full thread of stranded DMC satin floss. The
herringbone stitch is done with DMC perle 5 color variations and the lacing
with Caron Wildflowers.
Take a closer look at my
3 new rows here.
You posted many very, very nice samples of the raised herringbone band. You did a good exploration job, Annet.

Love these bands. On the Flickr page you thread looked like wool, which has given me the idea of putting this on babies felt boots. Thanks.
