Bird's Eye Stitch
Bring the needle up from beneath, at the center of the figure, drawing the silk out to its full length. Insert the point and bring the point up at the tip of the figure, throwing the thread around the needle point as in making the simple Chain Stitch. Draw the silk through to the upper side again at the center, and make the succeeding loops in the same fashion, until the entire figure is worked. See illustration below.
The center of a figure thus worked is usually finished with French Knots. Return to top of Bird's Eye Stitch page. Return to Embroidery Stitches page. Return to Home page.
