Closed Raised Herringbone Stitch Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Start by making a short straight stitch into the base of the leaf shape.
2. Next, bring the needle up at the opposite end from the straight stitch, at the top point of the leaf. Then slide the needle underneath the straight stitch. Next, bring the needle back down through the fabric next to the point where it came out of the top of the leaf, crossing the working thread.
3. Continue this to fill in the leaf shape. Bring the needle up next to the previous stitch, along the outer edge of the leaf, slide the needle underneath the straight stitch, then bring the needle back down on the other side’s outer edge of the leaf.
