This band of stitching is another hybrid stitch as it is created by working a foundation row of the hybrid of chevron stitch and herringbone stitch and then working a second smaller row on top of that.
Thread:
The foundation row is perle thread #5, and the second row is silk
Fabric:
This section of my sampler is worked on cream dress linen
Size:
All samples are 15 cm (6 inches) wide and stitched together in one long band sampler.
The sampler is currently 44 ft 5 inches or 533 inches (1353.83 centimetres) or 14.8 yards (13.53 metres) long and still being added to.
Date:
I started this section of the sampler in 2004 and completed it early 2005.
