Chapter 9 - Threads and Stitchery

Some of my threads used in this Chapter ranging from silk to coton and rayon threads bought for dyeing at Texere Yarns, knitting and embroidery threads......

Part 2

Informal effects with a stitch


9n: two fly stitches crossing each other, done with a ribbon knitting yarn


 9o: these variations of the fly stitch  were done with a single thread

9p: fly stitches of approximately the same size with one side of the stitch being slightly longer, the whole stitch was wrapped with buttonhole stitch done with a chenille thread

 9q: fly stitches done with a ribbon yarn and a fine thread on top of each other. The tail of the stitch is very short while the V-shape is kept loose
 9r: fly stitches done with a ribbon thread. These have no "tails", instead it was wrapped around the bottom of the V-shape

9s: a little experiment with a fluffy knitting yarn I recently bought. It was couched with fly stitch in a meandering movement

9t: only the "tail" of the fly stitch was wrapped with a buttonhole stitch, executed in thick silk thread
 9u: fly stitches done quite close to each other in a circular movement

The next 3 samples are variations of the fly stitch with a similar positioning. The only thing that changes is the thread the size and in sample 9w
the V-shape is very long and the tail tiny
