Hi all
Hope all are doing well and good. Today I am going to share the tutorial for doing four sided stitch.
This is a pulled thread stitch. It consists of horizontal and vertical stitches. It forms a square on the front side of the fabric and crosses in the reverse side. This stitch formed a nice border. It can be done as a row or we can form squares or rectangles according to the number of stitches done. I am working over three threads on Aida fabric.
Bring the needle up at one point and bring down straight above over three threads. Pull through the thread. A straight stitch is formed.
Bring the needle diagonally up crossing three threads. And bring down at the starting point. Pull through the thread. Second straight stitch is done and we have formed two sides.
Again bring the needle diagonally up and bring it down at the end of the first side. Pull through the thread and third side is formed.
Again bring the thread diagonally up and bring it down at the starting of the third side.Pull through the thread and fourth side is formed.
Now we have done with a four sided stitch.
For the second stitch, again bring the needle diagonally up and bring it down horizontally. Continue like the first stitch.
After doing with one row or enough number of four sided stitches, turn the fabric 90 degree clockwise. The picture is shown below.
Again bring the needle diagonally up and make a horizontal straight stitch and continue as shown in the picture’s below.
After doing the second side, again rotate the fabric 90 Degree clockwise and continue.
Now we have a square with four sided stitch.
This is the back side of the fabric. If done correctly we will be having squares in the back side.
Hope you find this tutorial useful. I will be posting the video tutorial soon. Till then have a happy time with your needle and thread.
