Feather Stitch

Hello everyone,

Here is a short tutorial on Feather Stitch.

I have used a checkered fabric here to demonstrate the symmetry of the stitches.

Step 1. Bring the needle up as shown.

Step 2. Push the needle down at a point diagonal to the starting point and bring it up at the point shown, keeping the thread UNDER the needle.

Complete the stitch by pulling the thread up (but not too tight).

 

Step 3. Repeat the previous two steps on the other side.

Continue in the same way alternating the sides.

Try to keep the stitch length uniform and aligned as shown below
