Rittenhouse Needlepoint, a new shop in Philadephia, put up a great post about this often neglected stitch.
In my stitching, I tend to use this stitch in it’s smaller form and then pretty much only for borders.
But I am intrigued by the idea of the larger version of the stitch and it ropey effect. I’m thinking it could be really cool stitched over an area of T Stitch so it wouldn’t look so undone.
I’m going to have to try that.
