Another easy week but don't be fooled by the running stitch. As those who worked through all the lessons I gave on Stitch 12, there are alot of interesting things you can stitch with the running stitch.
If you have not tried lacing or interlacing your running stitches, that is worth exploring. I had not tried that prior to my Stitch 12 lessons and now I am hooked.
The running stitch is the very basic in and out stitch--moving forward in a linear way; also called basting or quilting stitch. The satin stitch is back and forth. It's probably splitting hairs, technically, but they do seem different to me. (And, I'm going to lay money on the table that satin stitch is a TAST stitch at some point--along with short and long stitch-which seems more like satin than running to me.)
I liked her multi-colored thread that zigzagged downward in parallel lines. I thought I'd play around with that idea and see if I came up with anything that's fun.

Have fun this week!
My favorite stitch!
I immediately thought of you! Are you going to try something wild and crazy?
How does this make it different from the Satin Stitch? The difficulty is in all the possibilities.

This could be the week I use the waste canvas! Finally. =)
On the running stitch? really?
OH, maybe you want to do something like the photo?
Satin stitch also requires that the stitches be worked close together to create a satiny surface. Running stitch doesn't need a neighbor.
For running-stitch eye candy, google search "sashiko running stitch", "huck embroidery running stitch", and "kantha embroidery". Yum!
