Can't believe how hopeless I was at this Chevron stitch. Do I put the thread over or under and invariably I'd choose the wrong one. Thankfully I came across this free butterfly pattern on
Miriam's Borduurblog which I really liked and helped me not to get too frustrated with myself as the butterfly began to take shape. Thank you Miriam for posting your pattern!!
It's very pretty! If you have trouble with your stitches again, just look at Mary Corbets' video tutorials here:

They helped me a lot when I started to learn difficult stitches.
Thanks Annet!! I'll definitely check that out :)
DeleteYour Chevron stitches turned out well! I am glad that you used my butterfly pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Miriam! I can definitely see myself using your pattern again :)
DeleteI think your stitching looks very neat and the pattern is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kira! I'm hoping that this weeks TAST stitch will be one I know but if not, yeah, another stitch to learn :)
DeleteBeautiful stitching! By the way, you are not the only one who had to read the instructions again and again while working the sampler.
ReplyDeleteGood to know I wasn't the only one! :)
DeleteVery nice indeed! Love the butterfly. Chevron does take a bit of getting used to, where the thread lies IS important.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Yes, and every stitch I made on this I had to think, okay does the thread go on the top or bottom. :)
DeleteNice work, really like the borders.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay! There are such an amazing amount of variations of these TAST stitches and you do such colourful and lovely stitching :)
