This band of stitching is another experiment worked in two parts. This row is worked liked chevron stitch, along top section of the row and on the bottom of the row instead of working a chevron stich foot I worked half of a Cretan stitch. Next I worked stepped threaded running stitch over the top. It was an interesting experiment!
