TUTORIAL: RIBBED WHEEL STITCH

RIBBED WHEEL STITCH


This stitch is also called as a spider wheel stitch since it gives an appearance of a spider web and the ribs of it are raised.
A wonderful and yet a simple stitch which can be worked out very easily

1. Draw an even or odd number of foundation straight stitches as i have shown

2. Bring the needle out at 1 and go down at 2, like wise make other 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8.
3. Now bring out the needle at the center of the wheel


4. Go over the stitch 2 keeping the thread always to the left of the needle




5. Now bring the needle under the same stitch and also below the stitch 8 or whip the first stitch as shown

6. Now take the needle under the stitch 8 , go over it and wrap the thread on it and go below it to the next stitch that is stitch 3

7.Having whipped this stitch go down under the next stitch and whip it.
WHIPPING IS WRAPPING THE THREAD ON THE STITCH i.e., GO BELOW A STITCH ,COME UP ON THE SAME STITCH ANS AGAIN GO BELOW IT

this way keep whipping till you complete the imaginary circle

Is it not a very easy stitch to follow??!!

This is a kurti/ tunic i have embroidered for my daughter using this stitch as well as braided chain stitch. I am sure u can find many ways to incorporate this stitch in your clothing






Happy stitching and have fun:-)
