Bulgarian StitchThe Bulgarian stitch is a system borrowed from the Oriental embroideries, which were executed with the finest silks. It may be described as an artistic combination of back stitch and outline, or even outline alone.This heavy outline stitch consists of several rows of Kensington Outline Stitch, set side by side. The stitches are not of uniform length, but vary, as it is necessary to conform to the curves of the outline. See the illustration below.
Creative embroiderers have worked the Bulgarian Stitch over large surfaces. It then, of course, ceases to be an outline and becomes a filling stitch. Return to top of Bulgarian Stitch page. Return to Embroidery Stitches page. Return to Home page. |
