Nobuko Stitch

   

The sixth block the needlepoint Painted Stitches Sampler is the Nobuko Stitch. This is one of my favorite stitches. It is easiest to learn using two different colored threads. I always put in the short stitches first in one color. Then go back and fill in with the long stitches in a different color. This way I know where the long stitches go.
