Further Testing

An embroidery sampler with stacked rows of scrolling oak leaves in gold thread on olive-green fabric, showing a variety of fill stitches, and separated by two narrow bands with various small diamond, triangle, and vining fills.
Those wobbly diamonds are a reminder of the frailty of man.
I still wasn't satisfied with the fill techniques I'd used for leaves, so I did another row of tests. From left to right, top to bottom: unidirectional satin stitch, lattice fill, satin stitch in different directions on each leaf lobe, two-strand chain stitch radiating from the stem, four-stand chain stitch following the main vein, split stitch outline, inept satin stitch, and half-and-half satin stitch and split stitch outline.

Satin stitch won. Good thing I'd already accepted that this project would take months.
