Cross Stitch #23 - Pin Stitch / Pinhead Stitch Tutorial

I would like to share this tutorial I found when looking for ways to stitch isolated stitches. The Pin or Pinhead Stitch is a way of anchoring a stitch using only the space occupied by that stitch! You can use the Pin Stitch to start your stitching, finish your stitching, or a combination of both!

Pin Stitch on Aida:

Pin Stitch on Linen/Evenweave (starting):

Pin Stitch on Linen/Evenweave (ending):

It can be used on Aida, Evenweave or Linen using stranded cotton, silks and even metallic threads.

Helpful for:
*Isolated stitches
*When you can't start with a loop method due to an uneven number of strands, or when stitching with silks or variegated threads
*Reducing bulk at the back of your design due to many colour changes

P.S. At once stage I mention I'm stitching on 28ct Lugana - I should have said Linen!

I hope you enjoy this video and find it useful.
Thanks for watching :) xx
