Trellis stitch

There are also directions for a handful of versions/variations on the ANG Stitch of the Month site. Just scroll down and you'll find them.

I couldn't find the original post, but for what ever reason, the ANG site example didn't work for the OP. Didn't seem the same as what ever designer had called out for.

Hmmm. I just re-opened it from the link. It's kind of a scroll down, but I think I caught about 4 Trellis stitch types. Anyhow, these are links to some of the trellis stitch diagrams.

Thank You Ellice for this delightful embroidery sites, The funny thing is i have been palying with all kinds of Stitches like that, out of my own mind , i never knew they `existed` or that they had a name ,,, i just thought , it was a `normal` step when one played with stitiches. mirjam

And just to make this more confusing - the stitch illustrated in ASNW is a detached stitch.

Mirjam, I know that is how so many stitches have been "invented." Reading any of Jean Hilton's stitch books, she often tells of what she was thinking as she started doodling around, and voila -a stitch has come into existence. Thanks for appreciating the site - it's one of my favorites to recommend.

The stitches on the ANG site were being diagrammed by Beth Robertson. She, along with Suzanne Howeren & Ann Casswell are "the Thread Technique Team" . The 3 of them wrote the "Thread Thesaurus" which is a fabulous reference with on weights, substitutions of different threads. Suzanne and Beth wrote the series "Stitches for Effect", More Stitches and "Even More Stitches..." which have tons of stitches, with excellent diagrams and annotations of their uses and particular thread suitability. Can you tell I like them? We're lucky in this area that they're local, and guild members.

Since I've been teaching canvaswork in the more intermediate to advanced projects - so to speak - I've really been using my references, and it's been fun playing with all these different stitches again. And the different effects you get by changing some aspect ratio or a thread type.

Anyhow, happy to have been of some service.

Ellice , i was sure you knew that about `how Stitiches are Born? ` and i was delighted by the names. Here , in Israel we had a time when every teacher taught stitiches, and calling it as she saw fit, sometimes it was a translation from her or her parents native tungue, sometimes it was her own creative idea. Thus at a certain time the Academie for the Hebrew language , had a comittee that that decided about some of the Most Common basic stitches, which got an OFFICIAL name ... of course they could not name each variation that we `develope` while working. I am interested in both fiber art as well as in fiber Lingua,,,it opens so much Knowledge of traditions and culture before us,,, the proper Hebrew name for xstitching is Rekima Mesukelet

I would like to send you a scan of some very layered stitv=ching i did , but i am not sure i have your email ,,,, I enjoy letting my needle go it`s own way and make various developments of a st i started....

The e-mail that I post from here is good - not got any blocking things on it.

History of stitches, naming, use - it's all interesting.

Ellice

Sunday night i emailed you the Scanned parts, i hope you enjpyed them. mirjam

Just wanted to say that I finally found the mail which had been put in the wrong folder by my e-mail program.

The stitching is really interesting - and the scans came out amazingly clear. I hope that you can share them with others - I especially liked the layered one which seems like a representation of a map. But, I also liked the family tree one - from the representational perspective. Both showed some really nice and intricate use of layering stitches.

Thanks again for sharing, Ellice

Ellice You are welcome, as the discussion leaned towards this ideas i thought it was ok to share it with you. I have answered your note with an explanation about the nature of the work [Yes is is an URBAN PLAN map], and how i made it. The family tree work is one panel out of a BOX , made with several techniques, the work is quite autobiigraphical. mirjam mirjam
