Now that you've gathered your plastic canvas supplies and prepared your canvas, let's start stitching the alternating scotch stitch in green for the outer perimeter.
💚 I recommend your anchor stitch and final end of each strand be about 1 1/2" to2″ long, or about 2 boxes long, as the longer stitches are a little looser and we don’t want our tail end to slip out, but if it does, the 2″ length will be easier to grab and weave back in under the stitches.
💚 Start in the top corner working from one box diagonally into the very next hole with no holes in between, just like a continental stitch. For the second stitch, you bring your needle up in the hole next to where you did the first time, work diagonally over skipping one hole in the middle and finishing by inserting your needle into the hole that is underneath where your previous stitch was worked.
💚 Continue working in this manner until you get 4 stitches wide and tall. Once you reach 4 stitches, start decreasing the box back down, so for the next stitch you’ll bring your needle up the hole that is underneath where you previously did, skipping one less hole as you work diagonally over. Insert your needle into the hole next to where you previously worked. You will see an edge start forming along the sides.
✨️ We'll continue the perimeter in the next video.
🩶 You can find all of these supplies in our Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop both online and in person in Melbourne, Florida, inside America's Antique Mall
🩶 Free Plastic Canvas Pattern can be found at YarnCraftsandCoffee.com
✨️ If you enjoy working in the alternating scotch stitch, you'll love the other patterns in my Scottie Shane series that are boxes built of the same 4 stitches, #orlycc_scottieshane
