Fancy laced running stitch is one of
the popular borders in kantha embroidery.
I just thought y'all might like to
learn it so here it is..
Step 1 - Work 5 rows of non-aligned
kantha stitches.
(click on the images for a better view)
Step 2 - Start lacing with a second
color or shade thread by passing the needle and thread under the
diagonal row of stitches as shown.
Step 3 - Continue lacing as shown.
Step 4 - Go back down and fasten the
second color/shade thread as shown.
Step 5 - Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with
third color/shade thread and next set of diagonal stitches.
Step 6 - Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with
fourth color/shade thread and next set of diagonal stitches.
Step 7 - Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with
fifth color/shade thread and next set of diagonal stitches.
Step 8 - Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with
sixth color/shade thread and next set of diagonal stitches.
Step 9 - Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 with
seventh color/shade thread and next set of diagonal stitches.
Have you stitched this border before? Please let me know if you know this stitch by any other name.
Happy stitching!
Anita.

@ Leela - yes, it's a beautiful and interesting stitch! This is one of my favorite stitch and I've stitched this on neckline,sleeve, saree/quilt border,yoke, cq seam …it looks gorgeous everywhere and lifts the entire pattern :)
this turns a running stitch into a very pretty piece, think it will appear on one of my crazy blocks before too long, thanks
Anita, this looks gorgeous.I will try it on a doodle cloth and depending on how it goes for me, I may do the border around my Kantha stitching from the SAL before making it into a panel on a project bag. You are so kind to show us these wonderful stitch patterns. Thank you.
This is a new stitch for me and looks different. Will definitely try it out soon.
Hi Anita, I've laced many stitch varieties but never so many rows of running or on such an angle. The laced Bejod border is lovely.
I think I'll try it on my next postcard.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Anita,
I have posted the picture without filling up the bird. How do I maintain the distance between and the length of the jod and bejod stitches.

Hi Anita,
I have started a new Kantha embroidery on a cotton kurtha(unstitched). Pls have a look when you get time. It is in-progress. Hoping to finish it soon.
Hi Anita,
I did this Fancy laced running stitch in the neckline on the Kantha Emb Kurta which I'm making. I have taken pic but not yet posted. Pls have a look when you get time. The stitch is very interesting. I had trouble in the corners as I was stitching square neck. (tamil pa)
Thanks,
