What you will need?

  • Any fabric.
  • Embroidery hoop, 15cm (6″) (Bigger if you are working on a larger design)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Embroidery thread (You can buy the DMC floss of 36 shades from Amazon)

How many strands of floss do you need for making the double herringbone stitch?

You can use all 6 strands of the floss. But if you are working on a finer design, then start with 2 strands of floss and increase the number of strands according to your design.

Step by Step Pictorial Process of making the double herringbone stitch

3. Keep working in a similar fashion till the end of the design and take it down and secure the thread with a knot.

Tips for working the double herringbone stitch

  • It is difficult to hide lines with this stitch. I have drawn lines for easier understanding. As you master this stitch, avoid marking the lines.
  • You can also use vanishing ink especially used for this purpose if you can get it.
  • This is making another herringbone stitch in the spaces created with the first stitch.

What is this stitch used for?

  • It can be used for filling the flowers or any patterns.
  • This stitch can be used as a beautiful border design.
