The Fishbone Stitch

is the perfect stitch for filling in a shape, like a leaf or feather, when embroidering. This week for Tutorial Tuesday, we covering how to do this eye-appealing stitch!

Using 6 strands of floss, make a guide stitch from the top point of the lead to the center line.

Then starting on either side of the first stitch, stitch at a slight angle and overlap the end of the first ever so slightly. Each stitch should move down the leaf just a little bit. Switch sides with every stitch all the way down the leaf.

It ends up creating this beautiful, textured leaf!
