LESSON 76: Double chain stitch

Double Chain Stitch Tutorial:

We present you the tutorial for Double Chain Stitch. This fancy stitch is worked from top to bottom.

In Fig. A: Take out the needle at 1 and put it in 2. The thread when drawing has to be completely under the needle at 3.

Fig. B. Stick the needle at 1 and pull it out at 4 with the thread below the needle and the thread is pulled out completely.

Fig. C: Put the needle at 3 inside the chain and pull it out at 5 with the thread under the needle.

Repeat alternating left and right always inserting the needle into the loop. Finish with a small stitch at the end to secure the embroidery.

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
