PigasusStudio Report post Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I'm trying out some lacing. I've the "Lacing & Stitching for Leathercraft" booklet by Tandy, which has 10 different common stitching patterns but this isn't one of them. I know I've seen its name before, but can't recall what it is. If y'all know what it's called and can let me know, that'd be great and save me from having to refer to it as the "that every-other-hole with backtracking stitch pattern". :0) Image shows it on two pieces of scrap with rather haphazard holes. From the back I'm coming up through hole 1 down through 3, up through 2 and down through 4, up through 3 and down through 5, and so on and so forth. It gives a simple "filled" running stitch type pattern on the flipside. Edited July 29, 2019 by PigasusStudio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue duck Report post Posted July 29, 2019 I don't doubt it is known by many names. When I learned about it, they called it a stairstep applique. Think in Bruce Grants teaching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted July 29, 2019 In the 80's, Tandy called that a "rope stitch". Standard on a lot of their handbag patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I found it also here named by @Ole South as "... 'Twisted Rope' lacing. Could be a Lazy S stitch or One Thong Stair Stitch... not sure how much different they are or if people just use the names interchangably. Its pretty close to an embroidery Stem Stitch using a single line of holes." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
