At aZenera, we envision a world where creativity and craftsmanship are accessible to everyone.

  1. Bring your needle up through the fabric at the starting point.
  2. Insert the needle back into the fabric.
  3. Next, bring the needle up (make sure that the stitches are close and parallel to each other).
  4. Insert it back into the fabric. In the first row, continue the sequence of this short\long stitch until you fill the shape. In the next row, make all stitches long. In the last row, mirror the long/short stitch pattern from the first row.

Uses: Excellent for realistic shading in portraits, animal fur, flowers, and nature scenes.
