Here is my first sample. It's a running stitch. Sound boring? There are actually some very cool applications. Check it out!
You can make them long, short, and even wavy. You can criss-cross the waves. It's not difficult to get them even on aida cloth. ON fabric it takes much more skill. You can draw guide lines or run your fabric through a threadless sewing machine to mark perfectly spaced stitching guide dots. Watch what else you can do if you add another color to those existing stitches!
You need to use a blunt needle when lacing, or you can turn your needle around and lace it from the blunt eye-end. Cool, no? : ) I love interlacing!! Stay tuned each Saturday for more!
p.s. For those of you who followed my Tips on Tuesdays posts, please note that this new feature will take its place for the rest of the year... perhaps longer ; )

And very clear instructions too.
I can't even imagine how many thimbles I would have to wear to try this LOL !
Well this is certainly right up my alley :) Thanks for taking us along on your stitching journey.

I love embroidery, and am always up for something new. Thanks!
P.S. do you know about Sharon Boggon and her wonderful stitchery over at Pin Tangle? You might check it out! Also Gail Harker's certificates in contemporary hand stitch (I have a Level 1 cert from her studio)....
