This stitch is made of series of three straight stitches. It resembles a fern leaf and so, a good stitch to do vegetational designs.
You need to know how to do the straight stitch. I will work over three parallel curved stitch lines to bring out the effect.

| Fig 1: Bring the needle out from A and take it in through B, both points which lie over the second stitch line. | Fig 2: Now, Take the needle out through C, a point which lies on the first stitch line.This point lies a little higher than the point B (about 45 degrees). | |

| Fig 3: Now, take the needle in through the point B. Then, bring the needle out through point D, and take it in through B. This finishes a set of three straight stitches. |
Fig 4: Bring out through E and back in to B. Follow the illustration to continue. | |

Fig 5: A finished portion looks like this. | |

Hi sarah gud 2 see ur stiches i have learnt lot of stitches. Now i want to learn sindhi embroidery will u teach it please and one more thing. Is it a gud idea to do sindhi on bedsheet n pillow cover ?
hi sarah
pls reply me
Dear Uzma,
Firstly, sorry for being late to respond. I was away from my laptop for more than a month due to travels.
The sindhi embroidery tutorial is in the making and might take a little while before I make it available. It is ok to do this embroidery on bedsheets and pillow covers. It should look wonderful. If the bedsheet will be used often, then it will endure more wear and tear. I would advise to use it on a bedsheet that will be not used daily.
the way of teaching is very easy and it looks very exciting.

This site is a great help for me. slight confusion – at fig.3 we bring the needle out from point D. at fig.4 again the needle is coming out from E. could you please clear this point?
Dear Apoline,
In fig 3, you bring the needle out through D and go back in through B. Then, you bring the needle out through E again.
I have made the ‘correction’ in fig 3. I hope this description is better.
