Chained bar - 122 and Woven Chained bar 123 - and a basket

I proofed to be very patient with this stitch - it took me long

About three cups of coffee......

You see the last row - it consists of actually three rows.
The layered threads which are oversewn by first zig-zag
chain stitches - and the name for it is chained bar (122)
They are then woven resulting in the woven chained bar - stitch no. 123.
And the new basket .....
It took me half as long as the above Tast stitch ---- (joking)
No, really it doesn't take very long to sew it - if the machine
is not playing a dirty trick.
 
I like to show the backsides !

  3. Good show! Love your basket and I bet it did not take as long as weaving all those chain stitches. They look nice but do take time.
    Don't forget to do some stitching on July 30th, International Embroidery Day.
