B. Ismit Stitch.—A slight difference in the plan of taking a stitch changes the entire effect. This is obvious in the "Ismit Stitch." It is taken exactly as the herringbone and the radical difference in the result is due simply to making the lines meet at a point. See Fig. IX b. When the lines are very long they may be fastened by couching stitches at the intersections.
Fig. IX c. Janina Stitch.
C. Janina Stitch.—A very satisfactory way of filling in the petals of conventional flowers or flower forms. It may be used with really beautiful effect on the canvas materials with Corticelli Roman Floss or Rope Silk. It is also a good method for filling bars on borders. While it is not heavy unless worked close, it carries a decided color effect. It is one of the prettiest of the conventional stitches. See Fig. IX c.
Fig. IX d. Border Stitch.
D. Border Stitch.—This stitch is not unlike herringbone. It is however carried perpendicularly, while herringbone proceeds horizontally. The side or fastening stitches of the border work are very short. See Fig. IX d.
