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…
BLENDING FOR SHADING
The rose petals use blended threads in shades of pink to create much more subtle shade variations than solid thread shades alone can achieve.
BACKSTITCHING FOR DETAIL: Take a look at the details on the building such as the shutters and window frame. These are worked in a single strand of backstitch in order to capture detail.
FRENCH KNOTS FOR TEXTURE: French knots have been used for a dimensional touch that is precise on areas such as the curtain patterns, shutter braces and shutter hinges.
