Okay, well it is my version of that stitch. I did not do the padding/satin stitch. To me it just looked heavy and I didn't want that. I am sure that it will look good on other stitching. I struggle with getting the herringbone even. This is about the closest that I have ever got! It helped to have the regular pattern in the fabric to use as a guide. I do like this stitch. Sharon has great instructions at http://pintangle.com/ For some strange reason this didn't post yesterday! Weird.
