Triangular feather stitch
TAST stitch 52 is triangular feather stitch. It was a new
stitch for me and I enjoyed experimenting with it. I stitched my samples on 14
count Aida. Of course I started with a normal row, the thread is perle 8. The black thread is my backstitch border.
In the next row I flipped
the stitches from side to side. Lots of space to add other stitches or beads,
but I’m not going to do that on this sampler. The thread is Caron Wildflowers.
Here I stitched 2
mirrored rows with perle 5. Between the rows I made cross stitches with 2
threads of stranded floss.
A stacked row of
triangular feather stitches with Caron Watercolours and silk.
Here I stitched 2 rows,
the top one from right to left, the bottom one from left to right. I altered the
size of the stitches every other stitch. The thread is perle 12.
My last experiment is a
knotted triangular feather stitch. The thread is Caron Watercolours.
I made the knots like the
normal knotted feather stitch. And I made the last stitch under the first loop
instead of inside the loop.
Take a closer look at my
sampler here.
You are so experienced and ideas for alterations, variations and combinations of a stitch you see for the first time must come naturally to you.
