The photo below is a detail on section 49 on my Love of Stitching Band Sampler.
I have turned the photo on its side as these bands run vertically down the sampler. These details can be seen below the tiger
Stitches Used:
All of these stitches are beginner stitches. I love returning again and again to the simple stitches. From the top of the photo downwards, first I worked a line of chevron stitch using a cotton floss thread .
Next is line of buttonhole worked in a cotton perle # 5 thread.
I then added a line of beads before working a line of couching, securing stranded cotton floss with a yellow thread that was also stranded cotton floss..
The last line of stitches is also couching using straight stitches in yellow cotton perle # 5 to secure the foundation thread of orange cotton perle.
Fabric:
The foundation fabric is a hand dyed 18cnt Aida
