Story behind the pattern, 'The Selvedge Stitch', by textile artist Jane Powell.

"The original idea for the design came from an embroidery in one of my very favourite books, Swedish Embroidery by Eivor Fisher published in 1953.  It is the second in a series of books about traditional embroidery from different countries by Anchor.  The piece which caught our attention for this project was a very simple table mat which was embroidered with the fan of lines with dots on the end which we found particularly appealing. We chose this as the central motif to ‘play’  with for 'Stitch  - the Selvedge project'.  The fan of lines in the original embroidery were threaded through and held in place by horizontal lines of backstitch, the dots were french knots. The design developed as it was translated from stitch to pen and paper and from pen and paper to print.  Screen printing has its own special qualities, possibilities and restrictions.  We hand paint our designs onto the screen to retain personality and liveliness in the final piece.  We played through many versions of the design repeating elements in different ways and exploring colour possibilities before arriving at the final version."
