Stitch Showcase: Chevron Stitch

March 17, 2021

Chevron stitch isn’t one that I use that much but it makes a great decorative border stitch.

  • it may help to draw two parallel guidelines to create this stitch

  • Start by stitching zig zags (A to B, B to C) between the two guidelines if you have drawn them

  • It can help to stitch all the diagonal stitches in one direction first and then in the opposite direction as this helps to keep the angle of the stitches even

  • To finish the stitch add a bar at the top/bottom of each V (D to E). There should be a little gap between each bar.
