Video Tutorial: Herringbone Stitch!
The video tutorials are back, and here's one for herringbone stitch, another versatile and easy embroidery stitch for beginners, and used often by all levels of embroiderers.
In the video tutorial for the herringbone stitch, I'm working across two parallel lines from left to right. I've marked the lines on the fabric, as well as the intervals for the stitch. You'll be able to eye-ball the intervals yourself once you've worked the stitch a bit.
The herringbone stitch can be used in a lot of applications: lines and borders, crazy quilt embellishments, methods of couching, etc. You can also vary the stitch, by interlacing other threads or ribbons through it. The double herringbone stitch will be covered in another tutorial - it's a good example of variety in this stitch.
Here's the video:
