Tast week 18
Crossed Buttonhole stitch

Close up of crossed buttonhole stitch. I like the way that when looked at from a distance on from on top it looks like cross stitch but you have a surprise when you look close up.
 



 I have used this for couching different shapes and it seem to work well. I like the different effects you can get just by changing the stitch length. A good one for my crazy quilt.

    went to post a comment and Miriam has taken the words out of my mouth, likewise I was going to say a great stitch for couching.
