Twilling?
 

I ahve not heard of that stitch but will be looking it up. I love how your stitches resemble little hearts too. Fantastic
!

That stitch is adorable. I've never seen it before.

i read about it once here some time ago, but never saw the pictured stitch. i like what you've done

I have heard of twilling for pieces of paper but not embroidery. You are doing a fantastic job.

That is beautiful! I don't think I would have the patience to do it.

I just finished the top of a quilt with Twilling. Now to quilt it

That is really pretty!

Love the visual texture of that stitch! It looks fantastic! Good Job!!

The paper craft is qwilling. I once took an adult ed class to learn "old" needlework techniques. We learned twilling there. We also did chicken scratch, black work, Brazilian embroidery and several lace methods. Loved that class. The teacher actually had a masters in needlework. She was quite old and still was teaching.

I have never heard of it either. But love the look of it and seems like you will do some lovely work.

New to me too.... but will have to do some research and give it a try..... several of us gals get together every couple of weeks and try a new needle technique..... we have tried needle tatting, Romanian point lace and this would fit right in.
Some of us do hardanger , needle point, counted cross stitch, knitting, crocheting and the list goes on ..... but always willing to try something new. Thanks for sharing.

If you know embroidery, you may have heard this stitch called the palestrina stitch. It's really quite simple, here's a video tute.

Thanks Jan for the link. It does look very pretty and would add a lot to needlework on quilts, etc.

I think with paper it is called "Quilling". I have a kit but have never gotten around to doing it!

i read that article and am going to try it also. with the same thought...use in redwork. it would make an attractive & heavier line which would show up better in redwork blocks used in a quilt. or any embroidery used in a quilt. used "whipped running stitch" recently on the back of a quilt and thought...whoa...that would be sooo much nicer looking in quilt blocks. nice full looking stitch. so..will try the quiling now. i think it is even prettier than the whipped running stitch.

I love the look of it.

Never saw it before! Pretty though. I'd say it is a keeper stitch!!

I never heard of this before but can't wait to try it. Thanks for that great link Jan.

That is cool how it makes such a heavy line.

I have recently started doing redwork quilts and find this stitch very interesting. You do very good work, very even. Thank you for sharing.

love the video. I don't have an embroidery machine and I was looking for a way to make a quilt with all the quotes that I love. I think I know how now.... Thanks!

I got my mag with this in it too and think I may give it a try. I imagine you are to use wool, and not sure how that would do in the wash?

This is also known as the Palestrina Stitch. Great instructions w/pics can be found at embroidery.rocksea.org

Love the stitch look, thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

It is new to me!

Never heard of twilling, but like what I see. Thanks for sharing.

I believe Mary Corbet's site has it. She has many, many hand embroidery stitches on video as well as tutorials. Amazing.

This is a terrific look - Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to go do a little sample, so seal it into my fingers!

..this stitching looks good for the heart pattern.

great stitch, can be used in so many ways on blocks.thanks for sharing this with us

I really love the look of the stitch. I have not heard of it befoe but it looks like something I would enjoy.

I am definitely going to check out this stitch.

I never heard of that stitch. The raised affect is appealing.

love it!!
here is a how-to I found when googling:

Oh no, twilling. Something else to try!

I bought a pattern at the last quilt show I went to, but I have not had the time to start it. Two of the ladies in my quilting group have made some quilts doing this and they came out Beautiful.
