QUICK POINT
Quick Point is an embroidery method used on rug canvas. Basically, this method consists of rows of continental stitches
alternating with rows of half cross stitches. Because the rows alternate, it is not necessary to turn the canvas after each row is complete. This particular version of quick point is not a visually appealing stitch. Actually, it's kind of an ugly stitch... Quick point is also a term used for beginner stitches on plastic canvas. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
Quick Point (Diagram 1):
The first row of this stitch will be a row of continental stitches. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at J. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Quick Point (Diagram 2):
The second row of this stitch will be a row of half cross stitches. Bring the needle up at K, move up over one canvas thread and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at I. Bring the needle up at L, move up over one canvas thread and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at M, move up over one canvas thread and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at N, move up over one canvas thread and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Quick Point (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how an area of quick point stitches should look when complete. As you can see, this is really an ugly stitch. Click on the Printable Version icon to print these diagrams and instructions.
