LESSON 86: DOUBLE SLOPED FESTON POINT

Double Slant Scallop Stitch Tutorial:

We present this tutorial for double slant scallop stitch for you to enjoy.

This stitch is used on straight and slightly curved edges, highlight work, extended work, cut work, straight and curved profiles (when working small).

Fig. C: Work this stitch from the lower left to the upper right: remove the needle at 1, insert it at 2, and remove it at 3, with the thread under the needle, passing all the needle and all the thread. Now work a slant stitch in the opposite direction: put the needle at 4 and pull it out at 5 with the thread over the needle.

Fig. D: Repeat to the right: Begin the next stitch by putting the needle in at 6 and pulling it out at 7, out of the loop of the previous stitch.

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 sharp pointed 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 thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• 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
