Today I have a detail from section 50 on my Love of Stitching Band Sampler Click on the thumbnail for an article about this section of the embroidery.
Stitches Used
This detail is is a version of feathered chain stitch worked in cotton thread on hand dyed Aida cloth.
Here I took the idea further and worked the stitch row upon row and then added bugle beads. The thread is hand dyed cotton Perle #8.

Wouldn’t this be a fun stitch to include in TAST?
Well, it’s really just another variant of long tail detatched chain or feathered chain, but one I didn’t think of myself, and there are only so many stitches which are not “variants”.
By the way, i sometimes think it might be fun to allow wishes for TAST, if only for a limited time.
Tenar dont worry it is already is in TAST its #112

I have just accentuated the cross – its a fun variation
I’ve said it before, but this IS a beautiful filling stitch!
Yes I always look at it and think it would stand as filler on something like an evening bag
