Step 3 – Bring the needle and thread up at 'e'.









Step 4 – Pass the needle under the first tying stitch from right to left as shown.








Step 5 – Go back down to the right of the first tying stitch as shown.











Step 6 – A fly stitch with twisted ties is made.

Hi Anita!
What a subtle stitch. Very nice. What do you use it for?

Anita said...

@ Gembirdie - I use this one as a detached filling stitch like we do with daisy stitch or french knots and also fill some of the squares in trellis stitch.

@ Carol - Happy Easter to you too Carol. Have fun with this stitch!

I've stitched the fly stitch many times but never with an added twist tie. Great tutorial and pictures. Thanks!
