TAST 7 & BEYOND TAST 7

 TAST 7 - DETACHED CHAIN STITCH

This stitch is also known as Lazy Daisy Stitch.  It works very well and fast in creating the flowers in embroidery.  The tension of the thread is the important factor which determines the shape of the petal.  As per my observations, perl cotton thread creates beautiful stitches & flowers rather than using stranded cotton floss for this stitch.  

In the first row, I tried working 5 petal shaped followers.  The second row depicts the usage of this stitch in creating "the butterfly".   Third row is the trial of creating a 4 petals shaped flower.  A seed can be added at the tip of a long straight stitch in between the gaps of these flowers to depict a beautiful Crazy Quilt Seam Treatment.  The 4th row depicts the usage of this stitch in creating a floral spray.  In this floral spray, both the leaves and the flowers are worked with this same stitch.   


BEYOND TAST 7 - BARRED CHAIN & ALTERNATING BARRED CHAIN

This stitch belongs to the chain stitch family.  This stitch is suitable for working the thorny stems of the garden.
