Whipped Buttonhole Stitch
------------------------------------
This variety is done by weaving a contrast colour thread through an existing row of buttonhole stitches.
As you can see first the normal buttonhole stitch is worked alog the line.Then a contrast coloured thread is taken and fixed at the start of the existing buttonhole stitch.
Now as can be seen the needle is moved under the thread and pulled out.
As we move along the line of stitches a neat web of contrast colour is spinned through the stitch.
The point to be noted is that the needle moves over the cloth and does not pierce it.
Care should be taken in selecting the contrast coloured threads so that the beauty of the stitch is visible to all.
Once the design is complete we will realise that it is one of the easiest outline stitches which is not only simple but also beautiful.
Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch
------------------------------------------
The name itself suggests how the stitch is done.It is a very simple technique which I have illustrated below.
To make the technique easy I have drawn two parallel lines .The first step as always is to fix the thread at a point on the upper line.Then just like a normal Buttonhole stitch insert the needle from the lower line to the upper line and keep the thread around the needle.
This is the up part of the stitch.
Now for the second step pierce the needle on the upper line and bring it out from the lower line.
Now for the third step wind the thread around the needle.
Pull the needle from the lower line.This is the down part of the stitch.
Now for the fifth and most important part of the stitch pull the thread in an upward direction that is towards the upper line .
Now to repeat the process-- 1.Pierce the needle in the lower line and bring it out from the upper line.
2.Wind the thread around the needle.
3.You get the up part of the stitch.
4.Pierce the needle in the upper line and bring it out from the lower line.
5.Wind the thread around the needle and pull out the needle from the lower line.
6.This is the down part of the stitch.
7.Pull the thread towards the upper line.
8. Here you have the Up and Down Buttonhole Stitch.
Here I have used Up and Down Buttonhole stitch,Chain stitch,Detatched Chain,Satin stitch and Stem stitch in this design.
Buttonhole Honeycomb Stitch
----------------------------------------
This is another variation of Buttonhole stitch which can be used for filling designs.
I have illustrated the procedure in arectangle . First a row of normal buttonhole stitch is done on top .
As you can see I have ende the line of stitches by taking the needle below the cloth.
Now bring the needle up from a point below the point of exit of previous stitch.
Now move the needle through the second buttonhole stitch and pull it out.
To make a new stitch on the second line pierce the needle in the gap in between the second and third stitch of the first row of stitches.Then just as in normal Buttonhole stitch wind the thread around the needle and pull it out.
This is how the first stitch will look.
Now for the second stitch move the needle through the third stitch in first row.
Then make a normal Buttonhole stitch between the third and fourth stitch of the first row.
As we continue this pattern,the first row will be completed.Now you will be in the left extreme of the design. Follow the pattern from right to left.
I have used the same procedure as explained above.The only difference is that i have given a Chain stitch outline to give the proper outline of the design.
As we work the stitch it looks like a Honeycomb.Hence the name for the stitch.
The only difference between Honeycomb and Detatched Buttonhole is that we move the needle through the cloth in the former ,which we do not in the latter.
