A few weeks ago
Queeniepatch introduced us to zigzag stitch in her Sunday Stitch School. I made
an Aida sampler to give it a try. Last Saturday I only shared the first rows, today
I’m going to share the remaining experiments.
In these 2 rows I
experimented with the size of the zigzag stitch. The threads are yellow cotton
a broder #25 and 2 threads of stranded pink floss.
Here I alternated the
size of the zigzag stitch. The thread is perle 12.
Of course I also had to
stitch a normal zigzag stitch in perle 8, but . . .
. . . it also looks great
if you shift every other row.
I did the same with my
alternated experiment in perle 12. I like these rows of bowties, but . . .
And here’s my complete
sampler. I enjoyed experimenting with zigzag stitch.
Oh, Annet, you have those special eyes that see patterns form and shift based on a basic stitch! Here you have a very nice variety and I agree, that last pattern is especially attractive.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Queenie. When the last pattern appeared, I had to think about a pretty dress for Sue!
Verwijderenonce again you have found lots of variations on this one stitch very nice
