This is a variation of the ‘Y’ shaped fly stitch. The series of fly stitch is done horizontally, and here, you overlap the legs of each fly stitch over the other.
You need to know the fly stitch to be able to continue with this tutorial.

| Fig 1: Begin by making a single fly stitch. After finishing with the tail, bring out the needle just before the second leg of the fly stitch, as shown. | Fig 2: Continue with the process of making fly stitches, but each time, overlaping the tips of the legs of the fly stitches. | |

Thank you so much for all your wonderful tutorials. I am new to embroidery and you have made this relatively ‘easy’! Its so nice to be able to have projects that can travel with me and a web site to help me with all of them! Thanks again!
April, wow! You have done such a neat work.
I really like the way you have done the inside and the centre of the flower. Thanks for sharing your work with us. It should be an inspiration to the other beginners too.
Dear Sarah
I loved this site. Its a treasure trove for anyone who wants to learn to embroider. Great work!
Thanks Mariam.
