LESSON 96: TIE POINT

Bow stitch tutorial:

With this tutorial for bow stitch you will be able to draw wide decorative lines, whether they are straight

Multiple lines can be worked with interlocking tabs, such as fill point, highlight, extended work, cut work, straight or curved profiles (when working small).

You work from right to left.

Fig. A: Take the needle out at 1, halfway between the two marked lines, put it in 2 and take it out at 3. Pass it through and then from right to left between 1 and 2 without piercing the fabric, with the thread through under the needle

Fig. B: Put the needle in 4 and take it out in 5. Pass the needle from right to left under the upper half of the stitch, as before, with the needle segment thread as in the photo. Repeat to the left.

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
