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.

Here's the video:



Have fun with it!

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!
