Sampler Showing Stitches that Create Texture.

 For the section, Stitches that Create Texture, I did this sampler on a large frame. I started at the lower part of the frame, with the dark green blocks. I later moved on from the stitches mentioned in the folder to others I had picked up from books and tutorials. For the full list of stitches, see the incredibly gaudy colour-coded key that I made to ensure no mistakes!

A few close ups of my favourite effects: Braided Chain Stitch, Ceylon Stitch, Detached Buttonhole, and Casalguidi.

Also a woven stitch that came about as I was doodling - it probably has an official name, but as I didn't take it from a tutorial, I'll just call it woven!
