TAST stitch 86 is Turkman stitch AKA double chain
stitch or closed feather stitch. This is one of those stitches I used on
a TAST sampler and forgot all about it. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday,
a challenge at Pin Tangle.
The first row on my TAST 2010 Turkman stitch sampler is
stitched in perle 12.
This stacked row of Turkman stitches is done in
perle 8 and 12.
A row in Stef Francis perle 5.
Another stacked row, big stitches in perle 5 and
smaller stitches in perle 12.
Here I made 2 mirrored rows close together and
attached them with trellis stitch.
I like the knots in the trellis stitch!
This is a stitch combo of Turkman stitch, Chevron
stitch, detached chain stitch, straight stitch and herringbone stitch in perle
5, 8 and 12. It could be a pretty
CQ seam.
A row with 2 threads of stranded floss in different colours.
And some freestyle Turkman stitches in perle 5.
My last detail is part of my buttonholed double chain stitch sampler. I played with the name buttonholed double chain. I
stitched Turkman stitch AKA double chain in yellow and buttonholed the zigzag
in purple. Both threads are perle 8.
There are more old samples of Turkman stitch from
other participants in the Flickr TAST group.
Oh la la, Annet, this is great what you are showing. Beautiful, simply beautiful.
