ALTERNATING SCOTCH STITCH

The Alternating Scotch Stitch is basically just a series of regular scotch stitches
worked in opposite (alternating) directions. This is where the name comes from. This stitch is worked horizontally. For a more interesting look, try using different colors. Other variations of the scotch stitch include the condensed scotch stitch, the crossed scotch stitch and the woven scotch stitch. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
