A diagonal 4 sided stitch band completes our sampler

The zig-zag line in the diagram below is the section of chart we will be stitching. The triangle row is part of the previous band, included to help show you where this band is positioned on our sampler. To download a clearer chart in PDF format, please click on the picture.

This band is stitched with perle 8 thread in white or ecru (depending on the colour of your fabric). We will put tension on the stitches to form tiny holes in each corner of the stitch.

Each stitch is worked over 3 fabric threads as shown in the diagram below. Work each stitch in the direction shown by the arrows. This will form the squares on the front, and crosses on the back of the work.

If you have stitched this sampler along with me, why not share a photograph on the show and tell page. If you want to know when the next Stitch-a-long starts, don't forget to sign up to my newsletter!
