Tast stitches 56 and 57

 

Sailors stitch and sailors edge

 
 
 and which one is which one?
 
I like most the sailors edge which is on the bottom in green
(I can't do without green)
The leaf-like stitchings are the sailors stitches
also the terrible straight line on top - I covered the seam with it

  1. I agree, where does the Sailors Stitch end and the Sailors Edge Stitch start? Your stitch combinations are all very effective.

  4. love your sailor stitches Anneliese and the green is just perfect to set off the other colours. The touch of orange lifs everything. I like the way everything flows...even the straight stitching at the top.

  7. your work is very nice.
    I like both these stitch. the sailor edge stitch is more thin and delicate, but the sallor stitch can have a beautiful relief. I didn't try it, but I think if the lateral stitch is made short enough, it can be almost unvisible.
