The Applied Image

March 11 - June 21, 1998

Knot stitch is created by knotting the thread on the surface of the fabric and taking the loose end of the thread to the back of the fabric to secure it. This stitch is used to create a textured surface, which distinguishes it from other, flatter stitches.
