My cretan explorations to date
Cretan Insertion or Open Cretan Insertion
Knotted Cretan Insertion
Twisted Cretan insertion
Half Cretan Insertion
This was the order in which I tried the various techniques. Amazingly the twisted was the most difficult in which to maintain the right tension.
I also had some trouble in keeping the distance from the edge even - however it is not impossible for me

Beautiful explorations.
I had never though using this stitch in this way. But how can you obtain than the two fabric pieces do not move when you stitch it ?
It is not a herringbone stitch. The Herringbone makes an X on the top.
This is a cretan stitch. Kathy http://kathysnest32.wordpress.com/
