This stitch is great for leaves, trees, feathers, hand held fans....

173 Eyelet Wheel Stitch

So much neater than its cousin, the Buttonhole Wheel, but it is time consuming.

A wonky version of a traditional stitch.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 171: Ray Stitch

Today, let's let Sarah at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials teach us the Ray Stitch.

It belongs to the straight stitch family and is an easy way to make leaves of various shapes.

Here's how:

Make a Straight Stitch, and another right 

above it.

From now on, fan out the 

leaf with Straight Stitch on both 

sides.

Depending on how you space the 

stitches the shape of the leaf will

change.

Have fun!

Homework:

Play around with the three samplers.
