How to do the Japanese Darning Stitch
This stitch incorporates the Darning Stitch and the Holbein Stitch. It is a kind of lovely geometric pattern that can be used as a patterned filling over large areas. You need to know the Darning stitch and the Holbein stitch to understand this tutorial.

| Fig 1: First make rows of running stitch in a brick-like manner, as you would in darning stitch. Try to keep the stitches longer and the spaces shorter for a better effect. | Fig 2: On the return journey of the stitch, join the running stitches on the upper and lower adjacent rows. These straight stitches that will join the running stitches would be slightly angled, as shown. |

| Fig 3: The finished pattern would look like this. |

Dear Alia,
I will consider to add load stitch tutorials. Do understand that making a tutorial takes some time and it could not be done immediately. In the meanwhile, I hope you could find any other source to learn this stitch from.
Your entire set of tutorials are amazing , was wondering if we could use them on our educational website with due credit to you of course.
On a personal front , my daughter was interested in buying a sewing machine and wanted to order a Singer Futura online
whereas I recommend a less expensive Usha
Look forward to your advise , thanks so much.
Fondest regards

Dear Dr Sadhana,
Sorry for not being able to reply earlier as we were on a two weeks long vacation to places with no internet access. We got back just yesterday.
It would be ok to use our tutorial on your educational website with due credits. Please let us know of the website link that you will be using our materials on.
About the sewing machine…I have a singer (talent) sewing machine and I am extremely happy with it. It is a bit more than the basic machine. When I was scouting for machines, I found the same range of Usha machines to be more expensive. I personally feel a Singer machine would be good and worth the money. Hope this advice helps. 🙂
Warm regards,
Sarah
u r wonderfull…..
Wow…!!! Superbb…!!!
