How to do the Raised Herringbone Stitch

The Raised Herringbone Stitch can hardly feels like a member of the Herringbone Stitch Family! It is an absolutely delightful stitch to work small raised leaves, making it great for 3D embroidery. It might take a couple of practices before you perfect it. Draw a stitch line to mark the length of your stitch.


Fig 1: Start by making a vertical stitch from one end of the stitch line to half the way. .	Fig 2: Now, bring out the needle from the other end and pass the needle under the previous stitch made.

Fig 3: Now, take the needle through the fabric under the stitch as shown. This will mark the width of the stitch.	Fig 4: Again, pass it under the first vertical stitch, as shown.

Fig 5: Again, take the needle through the fabric under the stitch. This time, it will be above the previous stitch. You will continue this process and keep building up the stitches.	Fig 6: The final outcome is a pretty little raised grub-like structure.
