There were two variations of the picot stitch introduced with TAST
stitch 49. One had an open base and the other had a closed base.

Using a strand of variegated green EdMar Glory #040 floss,
I worked 3 open based picot stitches onto an under-the-sea
themed crazy quilt block.
Personally, I love the texture this stitch adds to embroidery.
The sheen of the EdMar floss is fun, too.

a sea star on a block embellished for a friend in an
under-the-sea themed crazy quilting round robin.
