Oyster Stitch Video Tutorial
At long last, another update to the Video Library of Hand Embroidery Stitches - this tutorial is the oyster stitch.
The oyster stitch is an isolated stitch. In trying to describe what the oyster stitch is, I would say it's a combination stitch using the twisted detached chain stitch which is "surrounded" by an "open" chain stitch, or even a fly stitch.
The oyster stitch makes a filled oval shape, suitable for flower petals or individual buds and accents.

thank you thank you thank you! I've just found your video for oyster stitch and I've got it!!! Yahoo! This is the TAST stitch that I just couldn't quite figure out. Thank you for your clear explanation - and pointing out that it's basically a twisted chain inside a chain - that makes it understandable for me!
