Eyelet Stitch Sample

I've finally got a chance to post this sample. Its only 3 weeks late!

The sketches:-






And the finished sample. I wanted to try different thread thicknesses and I have the best selection in black (and it was to hand!)


I liked using the stitch to fill irregular shapes. I also like threading beads on too. I was keen to make bigger holes in the center and found that a finer thread produced the best results on my 14 count Aida. I would like to try it on calico and maybe punch a hole to make it more obvious.

I love this one, it's my favourite!
Simple black and white and true what you say about the fly stitch looking more like a feather than feather stitch.
