27. Bonnet stitch
It was hard to find out how to use Bonnet Stitch for flowers. Finally I tried a few leaves and petals.
Last time I tried Bonnet Stitch I didn’t succeed at all. I wrote:
I am sorry for these ugly Bonnet Stitches, not my favorite stitch, besides I choose the wrong thread, slippery and difficult to handle.

26. Arrowhead Stitch
Arrowhead Stitch is normaly worked on a straight line but there are no such lines among my flowers.
These stitches are too long, therefore I coached down some of the longest.

25. Twisted Chain or Rope Stitch
This is a useful stitch for many kinds of outlines.
Maybe I can try to use it as filling stitch as well.

24. Interlaced Cable Chain Stitch
I can not find any use for this stitch on my flower print. So I leave it behind for now. I might update this post later.
I found an example of this stitch worked on a curvy line HERE:

I won’t give up. Tried again with both Cable Chain and regular Chain Stitch. Difficult on curvy lines and small areas.

23. Cable Chain stitch
There are not many suitable places for Cable Chain Stitch amongst the flowers on my training cloth. First I tried to fill the area between two lines but I am not happy with the result..
Then I took a thinner thread and sewed right on the line. The result looks better.
During TAST2012 I first learned this stitch and my first attempt is better than the new one. I also tried to use Cable Chain Stitch as a filling stitch.
