Feather stitch variations

Now that we've covered all the basic stitches in the Stitch Library, it's time to take a look at some of their variations and derivatives! Today I especially want to talk about some variations of the pen :)

If you've forgotten what a basic stitch looks like, look at the picture above. And if you want to brush up on how to knit, read this post first: Feather Sewing Guide .

By the way, we have already talked about several variations! They are just a little more complex than I will mention today, but they really deserve your attention! Read about chain stitch with feathers and double chain stitch . While these two stitches often belong to the chain stitch family , they are also related to the quill.

Today's stitches are quick and easy, so grab your loom with an extra piece of material you can use for your workouts and let's get started!

It's very simple!

Make the first stitch with feathers. Bring the needle to the starting point of your future pin stitch line, insert the needle opposite the starting point and pull it along the same line as the first stitch that the needle came out of. Be sure to insert the working end of the thread under the needle.

Now repeat the previous step below. You can see how the "ridge" is formed on the left, and the "thorns" are formed on the right.

Here's what it looks like when finished. If you want to make a very neat fur stitch, it is best to make a seahorse stitch. However, if the line is to the left of the end point, the label should have more weight because the point won't cover it. Then mark points or use an eraser.

Single feather embroidery might seem a little rare to you, but imagine adding some French buttons and lazy daisies as a little embellishment, or you could make a single feather mirror line to the left or right. It will be an interesting base for the border :)

If you've ever wondered why the double chain stitch is called that, even though it's more like stitch and stitch, it's probably because the name "double stitch" is already in use.

Well, I can't say I know for sure, it was just my wild guess! Sometimes I like to think about the name and origin of a point :)

After all, how do you work with double seams?

Make the first point and then create the second one below it. For better stitch alignment, bring the needle to the same line as the top right stitch above.

Take another step in the same way. Align the bottom point with the top right point of the top point.

Now move to the left and make two new points there before returning to the right.

This is what the finished double seam looks like. If you want complete alignment and precision, it's best to mark 5 vertical lines. But sometimes you might need a freebie, and that's great too!

Finally Madenhair glasses! If you like geometric patterns, you will love this one :)

Make the first point like in the picture above, with the first point and the bottom point parallel. Then move it a little to the side, insert the needle one step to the right and pull it under the bottom stitch of the previous stitch.

Repeat. Create a new large loop that wraps around the adjacent loop, creating a specific pattern.

Do the same on the other side.

He creates such an image. Really can be used if you need a geometric edge. Or you can make a French knot at the end of the stitch, perhaps adding more decorative stitches - it'll be fun!

So here are a few options you can use on your next project! Have fun and look into the stitch library to find new stitches :)
