Patterns

Making a real pattern

I have no doubt that I can do it. Just need to draw something up. Probably abstract floral based on Jacobean patterns.. Nothing too complicated. My brother the artist suggested a cityscape.

Threads

I have used these threads for the pulled thread work most recently. Suggestions from others are welcome.

Advantages: It's linen and not slick or stiff, it's the same size as the threads of the fabric, and it's strong except when it's not. I test every length before using it. You pretty well can't see the stitches when it's in place.

Disadvantages: It's slubby…
