The stitch makes a leaf-like structure and gives a raised effect. To
work the stitch make a fly stitch with the fastening straight stitch
emerging from the same level as the top ends of the V shape. Instead of
using thumb to hold the thread, insert a pin. The straight stitch of the
fly is passed around the pin instead of going into the fabric. Now weave
the thread through the foundation till the shape is filled. After this
the pin can be removed. Raised leaves of different thickness can be
formed using the technique.
