TAST 30 & BEYOND TAST 30

 TAST 30 - Lock Stitch

Lock Stitch is a very new stitch to me.  Feeling happy to add this to my known stitches skill set. Initially a row of vertical straight stitches are stitched .  Then the lacing of these straight stitches are done by alternating the lacing in the left and right directions.

There are few variations available with this stitch.  The lock stitch can be a single lock stitch or double lock stitch.  In the double lock stitch, the lacing is done twice once on the upper side of the straight stitches and again at the bottom of the straight stitches.  Beaded variation of this stitch is available with the name Beaded lock stitch.

I tried single lock stitch with black straight stitches and blue lacing.   Tried out the double lock stitch with white straight stitches followed by lacing of the stitches with the black thread.  Beaded lock stitch is done with white beads.  I tried creating a stepped pattern with beads by offsetting a stitch.





  

BEYOND TAST 38 - TURKMAN STITCH

This is one more new stitch to learn and practice.  A very easy , simple and is a quick stitch .  This stitch is derived from Chain stitch family.
