Day 7: Buttonhole Stitch, Slanted Satin Stitch
Stitch Guide No. 10 = Buttonhole Stitch
Stitched with DMC Eco Vita. Managed to go a bit wonky on this one! If this was in a design I would probably have unpicked it and started again however its a sampler – its not meant to be perfect!
Stitch Guide No.11 = Slanted Satin Stitch
I much prefer slanted satin stitch compared to regular satin stitch as I find it far more forgiving, especially on small irregular shapes like leaves and curves. Again, I do a back stitch edge to start (my preference).
You can get a much crisper finish on pointed shapes.
Stitched with Madeira Silk (2 strands).
Looking good so far…
