2. Bullion stitch
a. Bring the needle out through A and put the needle
through B at a desired length.
b. Now, bring the needle out through A again. Then, wind
the thread around the needle as shown. The distance of
‘wound thread should measure the same as the distance
between A and B.
Too many or too less wraps will spoil the stitch
c.Then, hold the wrapped thread with your fingers and pull
the needle out with the other finger. Keep pulling the
needle completely in an upward direction till the wraps
lay on the fabric as shown above. Adjust and straighten
the wraps if required and put in the needle back through
B.3. Chain stitch
a. Bring the needle through at the top of the traced line
b. Hold the working thread down towards the left with the
thumb.
c.Insert the needle at the point where the thread has just
come through and bring it up on the traced line about
one-sixteenth of an inch / 1.5mm further along.5. Feather stitch
a. We begin by doing a long tailed daisy with the start point
on A. The loop is angled at about 45 degrees since we
are making a zig zag pattern.
While making the ‘tail’, before going in through the
fabric, we wrap the thread around the needle as shown
in the illustration.
b. Then, the needle is put in through C and brought out
through D, again at an angle of about 45 degrees.
Next , loop the thread around the needle as shown. This
is to make the next long tailed daisy.
c.Continue this procedure of making long tailed daisies at 45
degree angles.
d. This illustration shows a portion of the feathered chain
stitch.
