I love this variation on the standard seed stitch. I think it makes the stitched pieces have a more geometric style and look about them.
Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric (A)
Take it back down a few millimetres along (B)
Repeat this to create a second stitch that runs parallel to the first (C-D) that is the same length and angle
Create the next pair of stitches at a different angle.
This piece shows how double seed stitch can be contrasted against other stitches.
Want to try this stitch? It’s a stitch I suggest using in my heart stitch sampler kit and floral sampler kit.
