Thanks to SherryL for pointing out yesterday that my needleweaving was a bit loose. I had forgotten to put the fabric onto an embroidery frame when I worked it. This morning I did the third set using a frame. The result was so much better that I unpicked the first two and redid them. Unpicking was easier than I had visualised, phew.
Wow now you can visually see the difference, she must really work with this all the time 🌸
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated! I just ordered a book on Hardanger so that I can read up on it. I don't know that I'll actually try it, but I'll have fun learning about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid difference Sherry's tip has made ! Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you must be doing it, but just in case.... After making a stitch in embroidery, while pulling the thread taut, I hold the stitch between my thumb & finger. This touch-feel helps guide how much to pull the thread so that stitch is flat & tight but fabric does not pucker.
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery is lovely .
Perhaps I do it instinctively? I haven't had a problem with puckering.
