Twisted Chain Stitch
To
work twisted chain, bring the needle up through the fabric and hold
the thread with the left thumb. Insert the needle to the left of
its emerging pointthat can be varied depending upon the width of
the spike. Take the needle through the fabric bringing the point
of the needle out a short space along the line to be stitched. Cross
the thread over the needle and wrap it under the needle point and
pull the needle.

stitch can be used with a large variety of threads to give different textures.
Even ribbon can be used. The stitch can be worked with long spikes. It is ideal
for linear details. It curves easily. It can be worked like a detached chain stitch
