 This seam is a copy of Detail 118, which was one of my Cretan stitch Variations, I also did it on one of the blocks on mum’s memory quilt (Detail176).
The seam is 2 rows of Cretan stitch partially overlapped, when working the second row I passed the thread under the first row before doing each of the down facing stitches, doing this makes the rows interlock nicely.
thread is 3 strands of cotton floss.

Thanks for showing how, Annie.
I love the woven look. That has created a beautiful setting for the jewel like flowers. The beads that match your thread, sets it off just right.
