Cretan Stitch


Cretan Stitch

It is a creative filling stitch often used for leaves and petals in the traditional embroidery. It is versatile enough to insert beads and sequins.

This stitch is worked from left to right, along two parallel lines.



Bring the needle to the right of the center. With the needle pointing inwards, insert the needle onto the design line at the left, and bring out to the left of the center. The thread has to be kept under the needle.

Now insert the needle on the design line at the right, bringing it up to the right of the centre. Continue till the area is filled. These lines when kept at equal distance give a neat look.
