Chevron stitch isn’t one that I use that much but it makes a great decorative border stitch.

• it may help to draw two parallel guidelines to create this stitch

• Start by stitching zig zags (A to B, B to C) between the two guidelines if you have drawn them

• It can help to stitch all the diagonal stitches in one direction first and then in the opposite direction as this helps to keep the angle of the stitches even

• To finish the stitch add a bar at the top/bottom of each V (D to E). There should be a little gap between each bar.
