Thank you so much! This was really helpful! I’m trying to fill in my character’s hair and this this type of stitch helped. Also your Totoro is so cute!!
Very useful and handsome for a filling stitch. I would imagine you could use it in any direction, vertical or even diagonal, follow around a curved line with it in smaller scale, and also lay out areas where adjoining spaces switched direction. I doodled with a pad and pencil to try out some changes. Your workmanship is so clean and even, it suggests a lot of possibilites. Many thanks!
