Sampling

 Sampling for stitch. Using unbleached very soft calico as a base I stitched in stranded embroidery thread.

Running stitch, overcasting to make a pleat and then more pleats with running stitch going both ways to form a checkered texture.


The top one is really soft and lovely to hold and the two lower ones look fabulous on the reverse side.
Much more subtle indication of the lines with the blue still showing through. Still a lot of texture.
