How about my favorite - Queen Stitch!

Really - I do like doing it and love the way it looks.

I'm working on a model job right now that has a lot of Queen Stitch... .Fraid it's gonna be the last part of the job....Got a lot of practice to figure it out and get it done to look right.

It seems like a number of people find Queen Stitch ornery. What is it about the stitch that is challenging?

I think what my challenge is is that I don't believe that I have a real good "chart" of the stitch. I have one that shows two threads with the cross part which I understand...BUT I have a feeling that that is only have of the whole stitched piece that I'll be doing..... A lot of little "strawberries". I awaiting further description from the designer. I get the concept I just don't quite grasp the completion of the whole part. I've not see a good close up of the stitch NOR have I seen it in person..... I'm sure once I get my brain around it it will start rolling right along. Right now it's just something that I'm not "grasping" BUT also know that soon, hopefully, that Light Bulb will go off and then it will seem almost like "child's play".... So to speak...

"strawberries".

Thank you that will be a great help. I had the basic down but just wasn't following through with the other half. Kinda DUH moment for me
