week 30 - Buttonhole Wheel Stitch

[cinzia]

This week's stitch looks like our old favourite buttonhole completed in a circular form. The main link back to Sharon's notes are here and last year's samples here

while searching for more info about it one of the web sites I visited said that to obtain an even stitch it is best to use a fabric that is tightly woven..

The stitch dictionary link is here

Stitchopedia doesn't look too clear but here are the line drawings for those who prefer them

As usual there are many samples from quieter moments here and here

Hope you will excuse the shortness of this upload but I am unbelievably flat out and it was a quick note or no note... looking forward to seeing what everyone does with this stitch

I finally have my Button Hole stitch uploaded.

I have had a go at what Sharon Bogon calls buttonhole cups - based on buttonhole wheels.

[cinzia]

I like those. Did you need to plan out how far apart to put the stitches?

[Ruth Palsson]

No, but on thinking about them again, I put one detached buttonhole in each ground stitch, but there is nothing stopping you putting two.

[cinzia]

I will hopefully try it in a day or two
