“The line spacing can make a huge
difference to the appearance of the
chevron stitching – practise on a
scrap of fabric first to make sure
you’re happy with the overall effect.”
Susie Johns, Sew designer
Work this stitch between
two parallel lines; draw
guidelines with an erasable
marker before you begin.
1
Bring the needle out at
A, on the bottom line,
insert at B and bring
out again at C, halfway
between A and B. Keep the
working thread below the
needle as shown.
2
Insert the needle at
D on the top line and
take a small stitch
to bring it out at E.
3
Insert the needle at
F so that D is halfway
between E and F.
Keep the thread above the
needle and bring it out
again at D.
4
Insert the needle at
G on the bottom line,
and bring it out
again at H.
5
Insert the needle at I
and bring it out at G.
Continue in the same
way to complete the line
of stitching.
