Just as I found Sheena's cute witch boot diagrammed for her version of the ANG Stitch of the Month program,
http://www.sheenasstitches.com
...I also discovered this great explanation of pin head stitches, those tiny stitches we do under light coverage stitching to secure the thread without knots or away stitches that might show. (The diagram is set up for cross stitchers but anyone can use a pin stitch.) A pin stitch is perfect for Sheena's witch boot as well as for the T stitch she plans to use in the background.

If you aren't familiar with T stitch, here it is diagrammed from the ANG website.
