These are the stitches I practised. Some are new to me, some variations on a well- loved stitch .
Straight line stitches - thorn, seed, ermine, star, sprat's head
Looped stitches - cretan, detached wheatear, tete de boef, long-tailed daisy, crown, looped stem stitch,
Knotted stitches - long-tailed french knot, portuguese knotted stem stitch, danish knot stitch
Composite stitches - sham hemstitch, raised chain band, whipped chain, torocko and a stitch I invented from seeing the back of bonnet stitch - two parallel lines of running stitch with longer spaces between the stitches than the stitch itself , then threading through making short and long zig zags.
