Tutorial: Cloud filling stitch

May 3, 2010 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

This week’s TAST challenge over on SharonB‘s Pin Tangle blog is cloud filling stitch. Sharon says,

At first glance it looks like a ho-hum filler but it is amazingly useful. I have used it on things like Christmas decorations, crazy quilting to block in areas, cushions and bags in a simple band with a few beads, and even as a band for a border stitch! Of course I have used it for what it is supposed to be used for which is a filling stitch too. (Rash I know … but …) This stitch is quick and easy to work and simple as I have taught it to children.

This looks like a great stitch to play around with. See the tute.
