Stalk stitch used in embroidering stems and twigs. In addition, they complete the pattern "Oryol Spis". If you want to perform the concave or convex line, then the needle is put from the center of the circle. Stalk stitch — a continuous series of diagonal stitches, tightly adjacent to each other. If embroider 2 hands, this seam can be done from left to right; if the right hand move away from you. Do the 1st stitch. Then withdraw the needle in the middle and on the left side of the stitch, put yourself and press it onto the fabric with the thumb of the left hand. Then make a puncture slightly above the 1st stitch and pull the needle with the working thread in the middle of the 2nd stitch with his left hand. The remaining stitches will do the same. Remember this, each new stitch has to come forward to the middle and the working thread is always to be on one side of the seam: left or right. If you change the direction of the thread, the stitch structure is immediately disturbed (Fig. 4).

and run a stitch on the reverse side from top to bottom. The loop should remain under the needle. Tighten the thread and make the other stitches in the same way (Fig. 5A). The stitches of this seam can be of different length (Fig. 5B). If the looped suture is used to color Previti or statevisible-dimensional pattern, the stitch length should be 2-3 mm. Stitches of the looped seam can be of different lengths, you can combine them for 2-5 stitches (Fig. 5B). Sometimes the looped suture threads of different color treated region of tissue. In this case, the seam is carried out first thread of one color, then another color thread, make a 2nd stitch over the 1st.
