Readers might be happy to know that this is the last band in section 9 which is made up of herringbone experiments and tomorrow we have a another section.
This band of stitching is another mixed stitch as it is created by working two rows of the hybrid of chevron stitch and herringbone stitch. It is very similar to band 149 but over the top of each crossed section I have made a straight stitch.
