Niamh believes the fly stitch is a close cousin to the lazy daisy embroidery stitch. This is because it is created with a V stitch rather than a loop.

She has used it in the centre of leaves, to create pine branches and flowers.

You also get to see how to sort out a really knotty problem without having to cut your thread.

Niamh also has a workshop on the Satin Stitch from the same Sampler, click here to watch.
