Script Letter B

This example of a letter B in a script style uses a number of satin columns. (The columns are shown after placing underlay. A large shape with narrow columns such as this would need edge walk, and perhaps some light zigzag underlay.)

  1. Place a column of Continuous Satin to create the vertical stroke of the B. Finish the sequence just inside the top loop. Place a short sequence of single stitches to move to where the next column will start.

  2. Place another short column of Continuous Satin for the top of the vertical stroke and then traveling stitches to the top of the curl.

  3. Place a column of Continuous Satin, then use a Single Stitch to travel across.

    Create the vertical stroke of the B

    Create the top stroke and move to the curl

    Create a column and travel

  4. Place a column of Continuous Satin until half way down the top loop of the B. This will cover the ends of the other columns. Place traveling stitches to the end of the lower loop.

  5. Place a column of Continuous Satin back to the beginning of the lower loop, and place a short traveling stitch across the gap.

  6. Place a final column of Continuous Satin and end at the point shown by the arrow.

    Create the top curl and move to the lower loop

    Create the lower loop and travel across the gap

    Finish the letter

  7. The final stitchout will be like this, with the overlapping columns hiding each other and the traveling stitches.Bsample_fin.jpg

Underlay Bars could also be used where the satin columns overlap at different angles. For clarity, this has not been shown
