Stitches:
This seam was embellished with a line of tied herringbone stitch which was decorated with detached chain stitch, straight stitch, jewellery findings and seed beads.
Thread:
The herringbone is worked in rayon ribbon floss. The detached chain is worked in perle thread #8 and the straight stitches are worked in stranded cotton floss
Placement and Foundation Fabric:
This seam is between piece 1 and piece 2 on block 8. In the same article I also talked about the foundation fabrics I used.
Beads:
I used jewellery findings that are in the shape of flowers and attached them with seed beads
