STITCH OF THE MONTH
|
|
Open Trellis Stitch
This open trellis stitch is worked around the monogram. This is a looser stitch as the intersections cross each other. You can tie down the
intersections with a horizontal or vertical stitch and this will help secure them to the canvas and make a tighter looking stitch. Securing the intersections this way is done last and will need to be done if your'e working over a large area. Tie downs stitches could be worked in a contrasting or similar color to give it a different look.*
