Are you familiar with this stitch?
As I was searching posts from 10 years ago trying to find the cabinet old paint color (I need to touch up the interior side of the doors), I found a post about this stitch linking to Needle 'n Thread. Such a wealth of needlework knowledge, help, and encouragement. This stitch, Palestrina, looks like a great edge finish and fun to do.

All photos are from Mary Corbet's site Needle 'n Thread.
Have found a few other videos but surprisingly, this is not listed in any of the stitch books/manuals. I plan on trying this as an edge finish on one of the small samplers. After seeing Cardamen Pins post, I ordered four small projects from MFE, so I have a few more to choose from.
These photos are from Modern Folk Embroidery IG and website.
This will be split in half for a double sided pinkeep like Carmen's.

I've not heard of the Palestrina stitch before, but how cool it is. Mary's video on working it is perfect and it does look super easy. I'm not sure about using it for an edge finish but can't wait to see it done! Love the "Darling Starling" one and doing it as a two-sided pinkeep is genius.
I have done this stitch and yes, Mary Corbett is very informative. Linda from PA
In the past I received newsletters from Mary Corbett and than she showed several stitches, so I know this stitch but never done this one.
The chart of Folk Embroidery is very pretty and I have a few bigger charts from him. He has also some youtube video's in English.
Love the little charts you have bought
Take care,Truus from Holland
I've heard of Palestrina stitch, but never used it. I wonder if it might have had another name at one point, is why it's not in stitch dictionaries? Or a case of someone doing a stitch wrong yet so right, so needed a new name? No idea, pure speculation on my part :-) Your new patterns are very nice, I don't think I'd heard of that company before.
Thanks for these rabbit holes Marly! LOL. I had forgotten all about Mary Corbett and Modern Folk Embroidery. I love the EMCM Anno 1787 piece.
