Description:
Want to practice new stitches without committing to a big project? How about an ATC sampler series! The first stitch will be one of my favorites, Backstitch. It can be used in Redwork and as an outline stitch. We will be creating one embroidered fabric ATC for one partner. Your ATC must have a backstitch used and be standard 2.5" x 3.5" ATC measurements. It can be backed with fabric, Peltex (heavy stabilizer) cardboard, etc. Beginning stitchers welcome to try their hand at new stitches. Must have a 4.8 or higher, no recent 1s or 3.

Aneela made a great tutorial using the backstitch as a filling! Take a look at her blog comfortstitching.

That's fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I've used other fill stitches, but love how that looks woven.
