Origin of the Art
Traditionally done with quilting thread , we now use beautiful threads of a much heavier weight. and a wide variety of colors. (12wt)
Big Stitch is done with a slender long big eyed needle
A thimble is used in this type of stitching . Worn on your middle finger of your dominate hand
Big Stitch is an art form that tends to offer therapeutic benefits to the sewist
You can start simple and increase complexity as your skill develops
Big Stitch is a new word coined for the modern take on an old art form. It's really only about 3 or 4 stitches an inch rather than the traditional 8 to 10 stitches an inch that my Grandmother could get. Thus we use a much longer needle. It has a bigger eye , due to the heavier thread we use. 12 weight it's called. We use Valdoni, Sulky Petits or Sue Spargos 12wt. It is so versatile! Simple straight lines, follow a decorative pattern or stitch out a story of your own.
