Old rope stitches

TAST stitch 110 is rope stitch. TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday, 
an embroidery challenge at Pin Tangle.

Rope stitch is one of those stitches I use from time to time. Today I want to share a few of them. My first sample is the start of my TAST 2010 sampler. From top to bottom the threads are perle 5, a full thread of stranded floss from right to left, a full thread of stranded floss from left to right and a whipped rope stitch in perle 5.
This is a detail of the freestyle part of the same sampler. It has the rope stitch as Sharon showed us and the rope stitch I saw in Mary Corbet’s video. I decorated it with French knots and a pretty bead. You can take a closer look at this complete sampler at my Flickr page.
Here I stitched rope stitch on my last TAST 2010 sampler. The thread is 
Stef Francis silk boucle, not the easiest thread for this stitch!
A progress photo of my embroidery Birth. There’s a rope stitch in perle 12 
at the left side.
This last detail is part of my ornament Reply to Good Morning. I stitched rope stitch between the feather stitches in perle 8.
There are some amazing old samples of rope stitch from other participants in the Flickr TAST group.

    The silk boucle must have been difficult to handle, but the result is very 'organic' and great for Sumptuous Surface Embroidery.
    Rope stitch also makes a beautiful scalloped edge.

      Yes, the silk boucle was a tricky thread, but I like the result very much.

    Very interesting to see your old samples. I have never heard of silk boucle, still as Queenie says, it is worth using that thread for this stitch. lovely work.
