Inverted Feather Stitch


About the Inverted Feather Stitch

The Inverted Feather Stitch adds a little ‘sophistication’ to the One-Sided Feather Stitch to create a beautiful pattern. This stitch can be used along with other stitches and embellishments. This stitch resembles the Eastern Stitch from the Palestrina Stitch Family, though they are done entirely differently!
