Palestrina stitch tutorial

If you dream of a pearl necklace but can not find one, work one! :)

Today we are going to learn Palestinian sewing that I absolutely fell in love with. Unfortunately I have not yet found a way to integrate it into my building, but I hope I will one day have an idea :)

In my opinion, Palestine stitches prefer thicker threads because they help create more volume in the knot and start to look like a string of beads.

In this tutorial I use 2 sheets of embroidery floss.

In this manual we go from right to left. So first you have to cross the fabric at the beginning of the line. And then take a piece of fabric further down the line vertically. When holding it, cross the needle over the line or lower the line a little and get a little above the line.

Note that the candy is pointing upwards (compare this with the roll seam we last learned).

After pulling the thread, slide the needle under the horizontal seam you got.

In this type of step I will show you the direction with the arrow because I will look at the front of my needle to prevent the thread from getting stuck because I am using a sharp one, not a stump.

Now we slide the needle under the seam.

Now we have to slide it between these two "legs".

Move the needle to the arrow. Note the end of the work when the thread passes under the needle here. This is an important point, if you forget to insert it under the needle, the knot will look different.

Here we go again. Knot in Palestine!

Continue to work the line the same way.

And here are two finish line examples.

You can see that the knots are very close together in one of them, it just depends on the size of the first stitch you took in step 1. If you make them smaller, the beads will be closer together.

I also did not mean to wave the top line (this is usually due to the line not being marked), but it does serve as a good demonstration that such knotted line stitches are not just used to make a straight line make but a wavy line. line. line. , Curves, Curves and Swooshes - you know what I mean. A sharp turn may be a little harder, but it's still possible.

I hope you fall in love with this sewing just as much as I do! And we have one more point this month, so look forward to it :)
