Scroll stitch tutorial

This month I suggest taking the broken stitches. I promise you will fall in love with him!

When we call it knot stitches, we don't mean that it contains a French knot or a colonial knot in its structure. Instead, the set includes a needlepoint element that creates a special knot.

For example, think of the Danish knot . In my opinion, this one knot stitch is the closest thing to the new stitch we covered in Flower Stitch.

So without further ado, let's dive in!

Lift through the fabric at the starting point of the line. Take a small side step along the line. Now, taking a piece of fabric in a perpendicular motion to the line you are tracing, insert the needle slightly above the line and out slightly below the line. Note that the needle is down.

Now thread the working end of the thread under the needle shaft from top to bottom on the right side (or the side farthest from the starting point).

If you pull the thread you will see a clean knot at the end of the stitch.

Now you can continue working with the font in the same way.

It's easy, isn't it?

The most important thing, I think, is to remember the direction of the needle when picking up a piece of fabric in a vertical (down) motion, and to remember how to properly thread the working end of the thread: under the needle pivot on both sides of the needle.

This stitch (and other complicated stitches this month) seems like a thicker thread to me. Create more volume. However, this always depends on the type of effect you are looking for!

You can change the distance between the two points to bring the nodes a little closer together and make the line tighter. You can also increase the amount of fabric that you hold in a vertical line - you will create a kind of "leg" with a knot at the top. This variant can be used as a sharpening technique.

Looking forward to another sewing lesson, one of my favorites! :)
