Variations of chain stitch --2

              Reverse chain stitch
             ------------------------------------
This stitch is worked in reverse manner,hence it is worked from top to bottom of the line. First a normal stitch is worked,then the needle is inserted into the cloth and brought up the cloth at the same interval below the first stitch. Then the needle is inserted through the first chain stitch without piercing the cloth and brought back to the starting point of the second stitch.

 

This stitch is worked from top to bottom of the line drawn.

First the thread is fixed on the cloth. 

Then a normal chain stitch is worked. Put the needle into the cloth below the first stitch. 

Then the needle is pulled out. 

Pass  the needle through the first stitch without passing through the cloth from right to left. 

Then insert the needle through the point where the needle is inserted for the second stitch. 

Now bring the needle out of the cloth at the same interval below the second stitch. 

If we continue in the same procedure we get the reverse chain stitch. It looks like regular chain stitch but is worked in reverse. 

Detatched chain stitch 

-----------------------------------------

In this stitch an individual chain stitch is stitched. Many such individual stitches are stitch he'd beside each other to fill the design. 

First the thread is fixed at a point.

Then a normal chain is worked by inserting the needle for a chain.

Then the thread is wound round the needle .

Then the needle is pulled out and inserted at the next point where the chain is drawn.

This way the entire design is worked getting individual chains.Hence the name Detatched chain.

This is the complete design where i have also used stem stitch and bullion knot.

I have also used it in my daughter' s dress as shown below.  

          

Here is the closeup of the Detatched chain in  the design.
