LESSON 115: STITCH OF CORAL CLOSED

Tutorial for closed coral stitch:

With this tutorial we show you a different type of fantasy stitch.

It is used on decorative edges and broad, straight or curved lines.

It’s a variation of the coral stitch where each point is touched with the previous one.

He works from top to bottom.

Fig. A: Pull out the needle in 1. Tie the thread as in the drawing, put the needle in 2 and pull it out in 3 inside the loop. Pass the whole needle.

Fig. B: By making a loop with the thread, put the needle in 4 and pull it out in 5, inside the loop. Pass it all. Continue making stitches to the right and left until the end of the line. Finish the last loop with a small stitch, as if it were for a chain stitch.

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
