Working the Jacquard Stitch

From Cheryl Fall, About.com GuideJune 15, 2011

A new stitch and Stitch Journal Page has been added today!

The Jacquard Stitch is a needlepoint filling stitch worked in diagonal, stepped rows of both broad and narrow stitches.

Multiple colors can be used in this versatile stitch. Three colors are shown in this sample, but any number of color combinations are possible.

Because of the pronounced banding, this stitch is best worked in large areas, like the background or striped areas in the Uncle Sam's Top Hat pattern.
