I read the instructions through a couple of times before attempting the stitch. There are several steps involved in the making of each complete ‘link’ and I had to refer back to the instructions frequently at first while practicing on my doodle cloth. After a few repetitions I got into a rhythm and was able to do the stitch on the sampler pretty much from memory except for the first link, which is worked slightly differently.

The tension is not as consistent as I would have liked but I am pretty pleased with my first attempt at PBS.

Happy Stitching

I've found that I have to repractise every time I want to use this stitch. It doesn't seem to stay in my long-term memory, but I like it all the same!
