\"Heavy<\/a>

Heavy Chain Stitch<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m only adding a few stitches at a time to the Spot Sampler, partly because I want to take my time, and partly because I’m rather keen on the Christus Natus Est panel <\/a>at the moment and seem to spend most of my daylight stitching time on that.<\/p>\n

I was a little disappointed with this Heavy Chain Stitch<\/strong> when I worked it, because it seemed rather thin and attenuated. I tried using my laying tool to keep the loops open and reduce the abrasion of the yarn, but since the laying tool is a sharply-pointed piece of metal, it presented its own hazards. I might work the other leaf of this pair in the other thread to see whether it creates a different effect.<\/p>\n
