LESSON 88: OPEN POINT OF PARTY

Double Open Scallop Stitch Tutorial:

We present this tutorial for double open festoon stitch for you to enjoy and apply in your work.

It is used on straight and slightly curved edges, raised, extended work, cut work, straight and curved profiles.

Work from left to right, the border forms on the bottom line.

Fig. A: Pull out the needle at the left end of the bottom line. Tuck it in at 1 and pull it out at 2, with the thread under the needle. Pass it all over with the thread. (look at the video)

Fig. B: Put the needle in 3 and take it out in 4, with the thread under the needle. Pass the needle to the bottom edge. Always repeat to the right.

Fig. B3: Here we can see the next step.

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
