Here is a little practice stitch I did...kinda a loose one, but you can easily see the mechanics of the stitch.
Then I decided to use it to make petals around one of the flowers in my little current project. I used really small back stitches around the middle of the slower, to make smaller petals.
I like this stitch so much...it is a very versatile one, as you can make the looped part as big or as tight as you like, you can run it in a straight line, or go around curves! I dare say, you could do an entire embroidery project using this one stitch, no doubt about it...and I really feel like this is something I will do in the future.
If you want to participate in Sharon's Pin Tangle(this link will take you directly to the TAST challenge page), please do...it is so much fun!

Hi Julie,
Really coming out neat. Love what you are doing. I just saw some kits at my local Michael's, that basically are doing what you are doing. In the kit, a printed fabric with some really nice flower, birds, owls and so on. Along with some floss and you just embroider to add texture and frame it. You are way ahead of the game. You put another new way to look at fabric for me.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings.
Oh wow Julie. I love it!!!!!!
Julie, Thank you for your comment.
I like how you've used this stitch on your project. I hope we get to see the whole project when it's done.
My frame is all tight Pekinese stitch (and I discovered, not exactly right, either), but I really love the loose, loopy Pekinese stitch best. I did the tight kind just to try something new. I also did more after I posted -- and discovered what I'd done wrong.

Wow! That is an awesome way to make a flower. Is that a special thread? It looks thicker. Really nice.
You have used a very clever way to make the flower. Great idea.
All of your stitching on the printed fabric is looking great!!
