STITCH OF THE MONTH
|
|
Corduroy Stitch
Variation
The canvas above was stitched with a Threadworx varigated thread
and a solid color elongated cross stitch in cotton instead of the vertical continental stitch shown in the diagram above.
This makes a nice background especially to depict walls and wallpaper.
