The Fluted Columns Completion Stitch
This completion stitch is used when you have twelve working strands, as in Fluted Columns and Fluted Twist.
This is a slight variation of the Quad Completion Stitch, in that we want to balance where the strands exit
the project:
|
Do one more Fluted Columns Stitch, but leave the entire stitch a bit loose, like this...
|
|
Where you place the strands will really be up to you, but try and have them come up through a hole that is
NEAR where the strand exits the stitch. Here, I'm about half done with the completion stitch.
|
|
After all strands have come up through a hole, but BEFORE I've pulled them tight, we can see how the Completion
Stitch somewhat crowns the project work.
|
|
Snip off the excess to complete the project. For this project, I snipped half the strands at one angle, then
turned the project around and snipped the other half, giving the entire project a somewhat pointed look.

I just had to get a closeup shot of this stitch, as it's this 90-degree turn that makes this stitch so neat. This
is definately the eye-catcher of this stitch, as it makes people say, "How'd You Do That?", and now
you know! :-)
