Mon Cahier De Broderie Page three and Four



Cable Chain, Double Cable Chain, Double Chain, Reverse Chain



Wide Chain, Chain with double woven thread in contrasting color, and a very unstable Raised Chain. I'll post an updated photo later-I did not understand the directions (in French or Spanish!)

Attempting Rosette chain. another very unstable stitch if you make it too long! The third on on the left which I have not shown you yet I have taken out five times, larger and more unstable.


The green is Point de Cordage, not sure what the english equivalent is. It is connected on the left with a 'cord' all the way down. Simple Cross Stitch, Cretan stitch in red and Point de Cordonnet in white-a nice stitch for monograms.


Simple continuous Cross Stitch "Point de Croix successif", Creton Stitch "Point de Cretois Rapproche" leaves. You can see how to do these on Mary Corbett's Needle N'Thread.


Couching, Darning, and Weaving.

Couching with matching thread. Garnet Fine d'Abuson wool couched with DMC single strand cotton.

Point de Feuille leaves , couching in alternate color and Sheaf stitch. Point de Feuille is not the same as fly stitch leaves, closer to fishbone stitch.
