Saturday Stitches - Twisted Chain

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Saturday Stitches, where I explore basic embroidery.

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.
