CQ Detail 113

Stitches:
This seam is decorated with a line of herringbone stitch, which I worked detached chain stitch into the crossed arms of the herringbone. I then slipped a stitch under the tie of the chain to create two arms either side of the chain stitch. This formation is called tulip stitch. To finish off the seam I laced the herringbone with a separate decorative thread.
Thread:
Perle thread #8 and I laced with a Madeira metallic thread.
Placement on block 17:
This seam sits between piece 2 and piece 4
