 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you the tutorial for zig zag chain stitch.  This is similar to chain stitch but worked in a zig zag manner.

In the following link you can see how I have applied this stitch to form a neck line.

Now let's move on to the tutorial for zig zag chain stitch.

Start with a normal chain stitch but in a slanting manner from bottom to top right. 

Pull through the thread.  A slanting chain stitch is formed.

From inside the chain stitch take another stitch slantingly towards bottom as shown.

Pull through the thread.  Next chain stitch in zig zag manner is formed.

Next stitch should be slantingly from inside the second chain towards the top right.

Continue in this manner along the stitch line and anchor the thread outside the last chain.
