barred chain stitch

Created by sarah on 02 Jun 2009

To do this stitch, you should be aware of the chain stitch and twisted chain stitch. Barred chain stitch is just a sequence of these two stitches alternating each other.

I would be following a curved stitch line for the illustration.


Fig 1: Begin the stitch by making a simple chain stitch loop.		Fig 2: Now put in the needle at the left of the chain to begin a twisted chain loop.


Fig 3: Loop the thread around and pull out the needle for a twisted chain.		Fig 4: The pattern would look like this. Continue it with a chain stitch and twisted chain stitches in an alternate pattern.


Fig 5: Your finished pattern would look like this.
