When you tear away the tissue, the lines are still there, but there's no pencil residue!Rachelhttp://www.blog.virtuosewadventures.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284411.post-87167912372407294602011-01-24T19:04:19.620+05:302011-01-24T19:04:19.620+05:30It is just not black but any dark colour that is f...It is just not black but any dark colour that is frustrating as the design does not stay on long enough. But you can try using the glass colour pencil (Apsara) super glass marker white for designs on black ground fabric. Costs about Rs 4 and has worked for all the small designs that I have worked....

I can empathize with you as I've had my share too, VBG! But what you are doing is lovely... you need one of the white pens for black fabric... as for using felt, lots of people do satin stitch on wool fabric and it is lovely... perhaps reinforcing it will give it that taught you require because felt will have some stretch to it... for most all my embroider work I always provide a support to my fabric, either pelon or a tear/wash away stabilizer... but no matter what, your work is always lovely!

I think the satin stitch would lie better on cotton.

How about you save satin stitch for the two flowers, better still do those in padded satin stitch. The do the leaves in one of the filling stitches you used on your sampler, perhaps fishbone stitch. I think they would make a nice contrast.<br /><br />Felt is perhaps not the best fabric for satin stitch, you need something firmer. How about you treat yourself to those white silk threads you wanted for this project and a nice piece of black silk. Just to tempt you even more, have you seen <a href="http://www.nejiribana.co.uk/2010/12/teeny-tiny-chrysanthemums.html" rel="nofollow">Jane's white on black project</a>?coral-seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876196936807771078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284411.post-33315803562017442002011-01-20T19:52:24.226+05:302011-01-20T19:52:24.226+05:30Yes, Deepa!

Single stitches.<br />Your design is beautiful and I like very much black on white or white on black - make beautiful works.<br />Don't give up this beautiful pattern!merihttp://avomeri.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
