TAST 2012 - Week 47, Portuguese Border Stitch

The stitch for this week's challenge is Portuguese Border Stitch.  Though it looks complicated , it is very simple to work with. I have never tried this before.  Learned through Sharon's tutorial and worked it as a neckline for the back of my blouse and the border for the sleeves.  It suits well for borders and neckline.  It works well for curves too.  I have worked the stitch with pearl cotton 8 and it gives a grand appearence to the blouse now.  Happy with the outcome.  How do you feel?

Now the border in the sleeves.

Tutorial for the stitch is available here.

Happy Embroidering.
