In this episode of White Threads Floss Tube, Yvette Stanton talks about Mountmellick embroidery. She shows her Dogrose and Honeysuckle Mountmellick Doily, and her Mountmellick Pomegranate Biscornu. Buttonhole stitch is a common stitch used in Mountmellick embroidery, and she explores the different ways it is used on these two projects.
Following on from the discussion of thread twist in episode 18, where Yvette mentioned that buttonhole stitch was one that was affected by thread twist, she demonstrates how thread twist and stitching direction have an affect on the appearance of buttonhole stitch.
