Lesson 63: Two-color herringbone stitch

Two-Color Herringbone Stitch Tutorial

We present you the tutorial for Two-Color Herringbone Stitch. The first interspersed crosses of one color are embroidered and then with another contrasting thread the other crosses are sewn to form a grid. It can be embroidered in the same color of the fabric or different depending on the final effect we want to achieve.

Here I have sewn with nuanced thread of those that change color, the one that looks like black, and then in contrast, the one that looks pink. You can try with the same tone or change every two or three crosses, or as you wish. Let your imagination fly!. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will be amazed. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a blunt needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special pearl or mouliné thread. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
