This was my ...Thanks to both Racaire and Elisheva.<br /><br />This was my first time actually using split stitch for anything at all, and although it did take a little while I think it went along rather speedily. Only held up by the fact that you can't "double-time" it so to speak. I found I -had- to use a stretching frame and I had to pull the needle down and through all the way, and then up again and through all the way. I'm a very naughty broiderer and usually sneak by without using a frame.<br /><br />I think it might be useful to experiment by filling shapes with split stitch and altering the directionality and all that, but honestly, I am not mad keen on non-counted techniques, and I don't think I will do it just to experiment. If I get more practice, it will be because there's some project that needs doing that demands split stitches. Which, admittedly, might happen sooner rather than later.<br /><br />I think all surface filling techniques will take a comparatively long time, and amongst themselves there won't be that much of a difference, really.Lia de Thorneggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392249063874192867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434346354387746569.post-57800107392100676472010-04-08T23:58:58.135+02:002010-04-08T23:58:58.135+02:00It looks good!

Unfortunately it is quite slow to make compared to some other stitches.<br /><br />What do you think?Elishevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014101193939248907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434346354387746569.post-78024310164808949862010-04-08T22:57:15.924+02:002010-04-08T22:57:15.924+02:00I think it looks great! :)I think it looks great! :)Racairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550615506362714185noreply@blogger.com
