Portuguese Knotted Stem Stitch Video Tutorial
Here's a video tutorial for Portuguese Knotted Stem Stitch. This is a line stitch good for outlining, especially when you want a little heavier line with some texture to it.
The Portuguese Knotted Stem Stitch can also be used for filling an area, when it's worked in closely stitched rows, with the "knots" in alternating positions.
This stitch is especially suitable to Mountmellick Embroidery, and can be used equally well in Jacobean work.
I've also got a photo tutorial of the same stitch, if you want to see it in "still life." The photo tutorial shows more clearly what the stitch looks like when worked.
Here's the video:

(((awesome))) Thank you.
This is so wonderful of you! Thank you so much! I have always wanted to embroider, just never knew where to start or how to do the basics! Now I can even experiment with new stitches I haven't heard of! :)
thankyou so much....wonderful video, and for free...God bless...I firmly believe in vocational training and want to commend the way you are making sure that the traditional embroidery lives on.
