Tutorial: Portuguese border stitch

March 22, 2010 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

SharonB has already posted this week’s TAST stitch over on Pin Tangle blog. Let her show you how to complete Portuguese border stitch. Sharon says this technique “forms a highly textured braid like stitch, which is a heap of fun to work. The stitch forms good ridge and is ideal to use for strong lines or stacked side by side to produce a textured area.” See Sharon’s post.
