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.

Another THANK YOU! My daughter and I decided to learn embroidery as a project and found your website and these wonderful videos. They are so perfect and helpful!
Funny!
Some time ago I was searching for instructions to do this stitch. After lots of searching - i didn't how it was called in English ou French - I found the site "in a minute ago". There she calls this Palestina stitch or reverse Palestrina stitch.
In fact some stitches have similar words, translated of course, but this is a peculiar word even in Portuguese - "ponto grilhão" that means "fetters stitch" - translating literally.
I love you call it Portuguese knotted :))
Thanks sooooo much for this.
Really very nice n awesome. Thanx a lot
