This is perfect stitch for long, loose leaves and the best thread for this stitch is Perlé 8 or 12 . To make a fatter leaf, keep the tension loose as you weave in and out of the foundation stitches. Remember to use a long length of thread if the leaves are long. The soft sculpture/doll's needle (about 13 cm long) that is used for making teddy bears is a good size needle to use for long leaves.
