Embroidery ~ Fly Stitch via

1. Who says the fly stitch can’t be a filling stitch? Line them up in horizontal rows and there you go.  Switch colors and add some shading along the way.

2. Line them up vertically. As you seen in my sampler, they become larger as I went down. This wasn’t done purposefully, but it’s good anyways, shows how you can vary the size a bit.

3. Again, they can be a filling stitch, this time scattered about at random angles.

4. This is one of the primary ways of forming the fly stitch, the stitches are stacked up vertically with no space in between. You can start out with a small straight stitch at the top.
