This is the latest stitch on my 100 Stitches list. As the name says, this easy and beautiful stitch is composed of a Satin Stitched shape that is then whipped.
It is especially effective if the whipping is done with a contrasting color. For my demonstration, I am using chartreuse {DMC #12} and electric blue {DMC #3843}
For the Satin Stitch filled shape, I used a rectangle from a bullet journal template
For complete Satin Stitch instructions, you can refer to my 100 Stitches post here. I first outlined the shape with Back Stitch
Next, I finished the Satin Stitch portion:
For the whipping part, I used perle cotton thread
To start the whipping, I came up through the fabric on the edge of the Satin Stitched shape:
I crossed diagonally over the Satin Stitched shape and went back into the fabric on the opposite side:
I found the instructions for this stitch in the book Embroidery Stitches by Mary Webb. She notes that this stitch may have the whipping either diagonally or straight across.
