Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 107: Tvistsöm - Vertical and Diagonal

Let's continue with last week's stitch, Tvistsöm. This time I will show you how to stitch vertically and diagonally.

Use the holes to count.

Tvistsöm - Vertical

This is stitched from bottom and upwards.
The first stitch is a compensation stitch.
                             

End the column with a compensation stitch, in the middle.

To stitch a column at the side, come out one hole away to the right,

then turn the fabric.

Now start with a compensation stitch and work your way upwards like before.

End the column with a compensation stitch.

On the back the stitches are standing straight.

Tvistsöm - Diagonal

This is stitched on the bias from bottom and upwards. It is more complicated, but by paying attention to the holes, you will find the rhythm.

The first stitch is a compensation stitch.

End the line with a compensation stitch.

On the back the stitches are slanted.
