Tast Satin Stitch



Satin Stitch
I decided to try putting satin stitch into a design this week to see how it would work. As you can see in the first sampler the shed was horrific ,the bushes looked like it would work, and the grass was working. Tried again with sheer determination as satin stitch is one of the hardest stitches for me to get to lay straight especially on the edges. I tried some voiding in the trees to get a background look.
I don't know that I'll use sating stitch for the shed I think I can get a better look with split stitch for shading, we'll see where the design goes.


I have found a good tutorial for satin stitch at http://www.heritageshoppe.com/heritage/stitches/satinstitch2.html
