Long Tailed Daisy

Long Tailed Daisy is also known as

Punta de margarita de cola larga [ES], Gestielter Margeritenstich [DE].


About the Long Tailed Daisy

This stitch is similar to Lazy Daisy. I would say it is a different version of Lazy Daisy. The only difference being that this has a longer ‘tail’ which contributes to its different look.


How to do the Long Tailed Daisy

To assist our lessons, I will be making a floral motif. For that, I have made a focal point by marking a small ring as my stitch line. My stitches will end at the edge of this ring. So you may have to imagine an outer ring from where the stitches will begin for each long-tailed daisy.

Fig 1: First, bring the needle out through A. Now, take the needle in through near A and bring it out through B. Loop the thread around the needle from left to right as we would for a lazy daisy.Fig 2: Pull out the needle and tighten the loop.
Now, take the needle in through C to anchor the loop. This will finish a single Long-tailed daisy stitch with the stitch B-C as its ‘tail’. C lies on the stitch line, vertically above and at a little distance from B.
Fig 3: Since I am using this stitch to create a floral motif, I will continue this procedure to create multiple long-tailed daisies finishing around the stitch line.
