HESITATION EMBROiOERY
Hesitation embroidery is free-motlon
embroidery using speed basting. The time
lapse that occurs between needle penetra­
tions permits unhurried hoop movement (ap­
preciated by the beginner), it also permits
unusually long stitches, as well as short ones
for unique decorative effects.
