Stiletto Eyelet Stitch

Stiletto Eyelet.

This type of eyelet is created by piercing the base material to form a hole which is bound around with overcast stitching

1.  Draw a small circle on the base fabric .

2.  Stitch a row of running stitches around the marked circle.

3.  Pierce the centre of the circle with a stiletto or knitting needle.

4.  Now stitch over the edge of the circle through the centre and over the line of running stitches to pull the threads away to form a hole in the material.  The binding of the edges needs to be guided by base line of running stitch which is encased in the overcast stitch.
