Arrowhead stitch can be worked in rows or isolation. In isolation it is a great alternative to a V shaped detached fly stitch.
If working as a row, it can help to draw three parallel guide lines, one for each side and one for the centre
Bring the needle up on one side of the stitch shape and bring it down at the centre point
Repeat on the other side of the stitch to create a V shape
If stitching in a row, then aim to space each stitch evenly apart.
As well as being stitched in a row of arrows stacked on top of each other, the arrows can also be stitched side by side to create a zig-zag pattern.
