| Saturday Stitches Tutorials @ My Sweet Prairie |
Today I want to show you a variation of Detached Chain (lazy daisy). Often when I teach this, one or two students will accidentally twist the loop and end up with crossed threads. OR - you can do it on purpose and call it Twisted Chain! : ) That is an actual embroidery stitch, so why not use it?

| If I keep going, this will look like a purple thistle top! |
You can find the Detached Chain HERE. You can find all Saturday Stitches HERE. Enjoy playing with this one! Try it short-looped, long-looped, or make the anchor stitch nice and long and you have grasses!
Experiment with yarns, variegated threads, even silk ribbon. (I am using a 12 weight variegated cotton from Wonderfil Threads in this.)
Happy stitching! Share & Pin if you like.
I really like this inventive way of the twisted chain and variations, thanks so much.
