I decided to make a band sampler for the “stitch along.” I added muslin strips to the sides of a piece of red and green ticking stripe, so I can conveniently work with a hoop. I’m using the entire width of the fabric, selvedge to selvedge – approximately 56 inches. I’ll probably still be working on this baby well into my dotage…
I’m beginning with the buttonhole stitch. (I left some room at the top in case I want some sort of header.) So far, I‘ve worked a row of laced buttonhole stitches, a row of up and down buttonhole stitches and a row of closed buttonhole stitches.

The stitches show up very well on the ticking I like it
That looks fun Conni
Great colours, and so even!!
Great idea on using the ticking Conni. I think I would like to borrow that idea if I may for my sampler. I have a ton of that ticking.
Oh, the ticking works well, what a good idea. I like the laced button hole.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind encouragement!
Hi, had to check this out as I wasn't sure what ticking was :-)
