Trellis Stitch - Elizabethan Embroidery - Part III

This video shows how to produce both the FRONT (brick-like vertical pattern) and the REVERSE (zig-zag trellis pattern) sides of the stitch, using exactly the same stitch formation for each, working from a central horizontal foundation row of reversed chain stitch. The reverse zig-zag side is demonstrated first. The thread I'm using is 'S' twist, Coats, 'Eldorado'. The stitch looks best of all worked in 'S' twist silk. Happy stitching!

VERY GOOD explaination! thanks 4sharing. BUT, it's too bad the video keeps stopping every few seconds. VERY FRUSTRATING.

@BlessedDove Thanks Blessed. Glad you found it comprehensive. I know what you mean about the interruptions with the flow of the film, especially as i used to have that problem with most of the videos on here. I think you will find the problem is actually with the bandwidth allowance on your internet connection. Because people are now viewing entire films over the internet etc, what was a fast connection is now probably quite slow. Personally I've moved over to Fibre Optics :)

Hey thank you! This is a very nice stitch indeed. You can do so many things with it: birds faces, feathers, flower centres, petals, sepals etc. It was so funny, the other day I momentarily forgot how to do it and had to look at the video again briefly - lol!

Basically the needle goes in away from you, and then gets pulled down towards you.

All the best to you !

Lovely video demos! Clear, easy to follow. Excellent job. What is the thread that you are using? Also, do you ever work on a slate frame instead of a hoop? I'd love to see more from you! Thanks for this.

Thanks very much for your comment, I appreciate it. I do plan to make more videos very soon.

I'm going to be doing Brussels stitch next, which is a back and forth detached buttonhole with no return row - please see my channel page to read further about that one. After that I plan to do Up and Down buttonhole.

I think your costume is amazing btw!

Thanks again
