But here are my questions that only you can answer - <br />1. the stitch is definitely nice but would it be too raised compared to the main embroidery?<br />2. the French knots need to be fewer, and perhaps not so regularly placed? <br />3. The main body of work is more freeform/freestyle. This frame is a lot more structured and 'rigid'. Do the 2 go together?<br />4. Have you considered something like an open-fly stitch, with a few french knots?<br />I don't have any answers, sorry, but hope this helps a bit?muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886770962693197798.post-5700032322803832362018-10-04T14:53:29.425-07:002018-10-04T14:53:29.425-07:00I like the French knots.

If they are too much, you might try a lazy daisy and/or alternating the colors (side to side).StringyDogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525731128063173119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886770962693197798.post-1152804905337705002018-10-04T07:01:20.242-07:002018-10-04T07:01:20.242-07:00That’s interesting.

The stitches are supposed to be very close each other, so it seems that there wouldn't be space for the French knots.

I like it by itself foe a border but with the French knots is quite pretty too, just remarkably different, maybe you’ll be able to find application for it too?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886770962693197798.post-80330712174777494342018-10-04T03:17:29.498-07:002018-10-04T03:17:29.498-07:00Good idea, thanks!
