TAST stitch 82 is Spanish feather stitch AKA
Spanish knotted feather stitch or twisted zigzag chain stitch. TAST stands for
Take A Stitch Tuesday, a challenge at Pin Tangle.
I learned this stitch in 2010 when I was catching
up on the last TAST 2007 stitches before the start of TAST 2010. The pink row
in perle 5 was my first trial. As you can see it took me half a row to figure
how to stitch Spanish feather stitch. The row at the right is done in a
variegated cotton thread, the size is almost the same as perle 12. I didn’t
like the stitch at the time, so I never used it until . . .
. . . week 5 of Sharon’s class Personal Library of
Stitches. I stitched 2 rows in
perle 5, but had no idea how to experiment with this stitch. Maybe I should read this lesson again before I start my trials this week.

There are a few more old samples of Spanish feather
stitch from other participants in the Flickr TAST group.
A nice stitch to add to your repertoire. Perhaps one day you'll use it in something. I especially like the variegated thread sample.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI tried this stitch once, got tangled up and and disliked it immensely.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLast night I did my TAST sample homework and do you know, the stitch was easy and fun to do.! I have not 'experimented' with it though.
this is a stitch I have not done before so will have a play tomorrow and see what happens
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the samples. Have not tried this stitch before.I will have to start tomorrow. The stitch does not look easy though!
