whipped chain stitch

Created by sarah on 11 Apr 2009 | Category: hand embroidery

Done over a foundation of chain stitch, this stitch gives a whipped appearance and looks best if done with a contrasting colored thread.

Fig 1: Lay a foundation of chain stitch. Use a contrasting thread and bring it out from A. Take the thread through each loop of chain made to give a whipped appearance.

Fig 2: The finished pattern would look  as shown.

 
NOTE:
Do not pluck the fabric below while ‘whipping’ each chain. Use a blunt needle to help you.

   great Marlin! I may suggest that you work on a closely drawn pattern or motif to enhance the richness of your design. Don’t forget to share with me of what you have stitched when you are done. Would love to see your work.
