One More Stitch

After I finished the previous post, I found a fourth new stitch on Barbara’s project, Framed Stem Stitch.

Needlepoint Stem Stitch is a stitch I don’t use all that often, maybe because I find doing the row of Backstitch down the center a bit fiddly and I don’t much like it in large blocks.

But I can’t believe how much adding columns of Continental between the rows of stem as Barbara has done changes the stitch. This change in texture adds so much and makes it look great.
I’m going to have to try it soon.
