LESSON 72: ZIGZAG CHAIN ​​POINT

Zigzag Chain Stitch Tutorial

We present you the tutorial for the zigzag chain cross stitch.

It can also be embroidered in the same color of the fabric or different depending on the final effect we want to achieve.

It is often used in decorative straight lines and trims. It works from top to bottom.

Fig. A: Take out the needle at 1 and put it back in the same place, putting the thread through the middle of the loop. Pull out the needle at 2, gently pull the thread.

Fig. B: Make another chain stitch to the left and in the same way, put the needle in 2 inside the loop. Pull it out in 3, with the thread under the needle and pull carefully.

Repeat alternately to the right and to the left and with the length of stitches that you like.

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. 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
