Twilling
#1
I'm trying to teach myself the embroidery stitch "twilling." I have watched youtube videos over and over and I think I have it. I just don't know how far apart the knots should be. Do I leave a tail between stitches or do I put the knots right up against each other? I can't tell by looking at videos and pictures if it is a matter of taste or if one way is better than the other.
I figured someone on this board would know. I always learn so much from you guys. Sorry about the unclear picture.

I learned it as the Palestrina Stitch, close set knots with short bars, but different variations can be used to get different effects...pretty much stitcher's choice as long as the pattern is regular and consistent.
Sharon b's is an excellent website for learning embroidery stitches of all kinds. http://inaminuteago.com/stitchdict/s...alestrina.html
