Benita Skinner<p>You can decorate stitched-down rickrack by threading a contrasting thread (like perle cotton), underneath. Go through in the same direction, all along, using a blunt needle, to get this barber pole effect. <br>More charming!! 🪡🥰👏💚💛</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>
Benita Skinner<p>To stitch down this vintage trim, with yellow tulips &amp; yellow scalloped edges, I used a matching green embroidery floss and stitched a fan shape, within each scallop.<br>So charming!! 🪡🥰👏💚💛</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/slowstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slowstitching</span></a></p>

Benita Skinner<p>Sometimes, when adding embroidery stitches, I find it useful to use guides, I’ve marked on a piece of cardboard, that allows me to easily space my stitches — more evenly, than eyeballing it, and without having to mark the fabric. <br>It’s never perfect, but always charming! 🥰🪡👏</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handstitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>handstitching</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/embellishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>embellishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/quilttip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quilttip</span></a></p>

AC Nelson<p>Finally got a moment to sit down and work on my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HandStitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandStitching</span></a> project tonight.
