Skip Tent, The Video

Needlepoint.com's Jinny Barney has done a short video on skip tent. Skip tent is a very popular light coverage stitch for backgrounds, particular if you have just a small area where a larger stitch won't fit.  The video shows how to work skip tent on the diagonal.

The shop also has an online course on light coverage background stitches which this video is promoting in case you are intrigued by stitches that allow beautiful shading to show through.
