The Stitch Files-BACKSTITCH
















I am really excited about the Stitch Files. Thank you so much Sharon for putting this all together for everyone.
I decided to start with the backstitch. At first I thought this stitch is going to be boring but let me tell you it has become one of my favorite stitches. I have done very little backstitch, but I have come to realize that this is a great stitch for drawing in thread. Call me slow I guess, but like I said I haven't really played with it much. As you can see , I decided to try some zentangles in stitches. Not the greatest in the world but with practice I know I can get really good at it. So here is what I have done with the backstitch. I will be slow at this cause I've got a color theory class I am working on and all, so I will post as I get them done.

The Stitch Files

Sharon Boggins has done a fantastic job in making Stitch Files . You can read all about it here
It is fantastic in the fact you are making samples of different stitches and will always have it for future reference. You will be making your own stitching book. She done a wonderful job on how she wrote the name of the stitches in a way that will be easy to find. Then on top of that she gives awesome eyecandy showing the different stitches. I will definately be buying the modules when she gets them ready. I am so glad Sharon has done this for us. The first stitches she gives are free and the modules will have like 15-20 different stitches. I am all excited about this and Thank You so much Sharon for doing this for us.
