And I'm pleased to say, it worked:
That's worked in chain stitch, and gives exactly the effect I was working for. On the downside, it's not much fun to stitch with! Even threading the needle is a pain, and the two different types of thread are determined to go their own way.
Still, it's looking like I want it to, and that's the main thing, so I'll persevere.

Hello Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI love discovering your projects, there's always something new to discover !
For easier stitching with 4 strands, have you tried simple backstitch in red then whipstitching the holographic thread around the backstitch ? Or maybe backstitch with 1 red and 1 holographic and whipstitch the same ?
It may not give the exact look you're looking for, but could be nice. Mary Corbett mentionned that technique once, I have tried it and I find it easy and fast. Also, less thread to pull through fabric...
Anyway, just my thoughts.
Hi Khalysta - that's a good idea, I'll have to give that a go some time, though I think this time I'll carry on as I've started. Thanks for the tip!
