Doing some TAST stitches catch up…The Stitch for week 27 was Chain Braid Stitch.
I Started with a thick metalic thread, almost impossible to pull through the fabric and it snagged on itself forming the twists and I was having trouble forming the stitch and have ended up with individual knots.
For my second attempt I chose a thinner, smoother metalic thread and had no difficulty stitching with it but whereas I had thought that it would hold the stitch shape well it actually slipped pulling the knot down to the bottom, so again I have something different to what I thought I would.
Third time lucky! Using a size 5, cotton perle thread I tried again…I was starting to think that I really didn’t like this stitch but by this stage I had worked out how to do the stitch and with the suitable thread I enjoyed doing the stitch.

I’ve had that knotting trouble with some metallic threads, and it encourages me not to use them! Three different looks with the same stitch – that could be fun!
