Detail 282 June 8th, 2007

chequered chain stitch

I am still feeling my way with the embroidery on the seams that join these blocks, the ones I have done have had similar colours both sides so it was easy to find a thread colour that blended into both, this join has different colours both sides and I didn’t know which colour to go with but Chequered chain stitch, from the Anchor book, solved the problem because I could just use both colours.

I was asked about the ‘Anchor 100 embroidery Stitches’ book…The copy I have was printed in Australia and purchased in the 1980’s…I have photographed the details of the company that published it and the cover.

    Thanks for the information about the book. I found one at amazon.com, used, for 95 cents, U.S.

    Thanks for posting that for me. Looks like JoWynn beat me to the Amazon copy. =)

    I have a copy of this handy little booklet that I picked up at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s here in the States. It was with the little knitting booklets, etc. You might look there for it.
