HOW TO… TAKE YOUR STITCHING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
We have included some more advanced stitching techniques in this project to help you to develop your stitching skills, ready for your next challenge…
CONTRASTING BACKGROUND: Interest in this design is created by constrasting the details of the racetrack building with the softness of the whole stitched trees behind it.
BACKSTITCHING FOR DETAIL: Take a look at the grill on the car and details on the building such as the clock. These are worked in a single strand of backstitch in order to capture the detail precisely.
