Neptune's Steed
Traditionally Blackwork is stitched on white fabric with black threads.
Janet has given a contemporary feel with sea green fabric and multi colour
threads.
Beads also
make the filling designs stand out. This
is a great design to practice 10 different filling stitches.
Even weave fabric
such as Aida or Linen can be used to stitch on 28 count or #14 count fabric.
When choosing the colour fabric and threads you are going to use, remember
to have quite a contrast shade between the fabric and thread so stitching
will show well.
8 large pages of
stitch diagrams and instructions are included. There are 10
stitched fillings in total. All fabric and threads listed are found
easily internationally. There is a
full comprehensive stitch glossary and comprehensive stitching instructions.
Instructions suitable
for those new to this style of embroidery but have had some experience with
a needle and thread before.
All instructions include metric and imperial
measurements.
Design size is
approximately on #14 Aida:
24 x 13 cm (9 1/2 x
5 inches) You can enlarge the design lines of the Seahorse if you wish it
larger.
