Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 116: Woven Long Tail Chain Stitch

Welcome to another set of five stitches here at Sunday Stitch School.
Today I am once again taking a stitch from Totsuka Embroidery Stitch Book #8 (Detached Chain Stitch).

Actually it is not one stitch, but a combination made up of three Long Tail Chain stitches whose tails have been woven into a picot.

The stitch has no name in the book, so I will give it the descriptive name of Woven Long Tail Chain Stitch.

Begin by making a Long Tail Chain Stitch

 

Add another stitch at an angle.

Anchor the tail in the same hole as the previous tail.

 

Add another slanted stitch on the other side.

Now begin weaving  (keep the thread or change to another colour) between the tails.

Anchor at the tip.

Homework:

Work on these samplers.
