French and bullion knot stitch


	Bullion Stitch Strawberries by mommablogger (Wisconsin) For the bullion stitch strawberries, the instructions say to work two bullion stitches end to end. I am not sure exactly what you mean by this. Am I to stitch them vertically, horizontally, or am I missing something? I am trying to make them, but they're not turning out like the ones shown. I'm not sure what to do differently. Thanks, Shana Shana, I am sorry the instructions were not clear. What I meant to say was to make two stitiches across the width of the strawberry , just underneath where the green calyx will eventually be stitched. These two stitches will be on the same 'row', i.e. lined up so the ends of the stitches butt up against each other. As you work down the strawberry the stitches will fill a narrower gap so that the shape tapers towards the bottom. For these rows you will overlap the ending/beginning points of the stitches.
