sewing stitch
Hi everyone. I am new and I have a question that I'm hoping one of you
can answer. There is a stitch my grandmother used to use that would be on the front of pillows and it was like pinched up pleats going in "x's" on the front. I want to know the name of the stitch so I can research it and find out how to do it. I have a pic I can send. Can anyone help? |

Are you talking about basket-pleated fabric?
Take a look he http://www.plumridge.com/pleated.htm If this is what you're talking about, I can recommend a book that will give you instructions on how to get this look. --Welmoed On 23 May 2005 13:21:32 -0700, wrote: Hi everyone.

Search on "honeycomb smocking". Just plain "smocking" is apt to turn up the tighter kind with surface embroidery.

I remember my grandmother having an entire bedspread that was smocked.
Blue/white gingham check was used to make it. Its was lovely. Cindy L "joy beeson" wrote in message ... | | Search on "honeycomb smocking".
