I've decided to make my own Christmas cards this year. I like the idea of embroidering some of them so this TAST offerings has a bit of a Christmassy theme. I've made a little Christmas tree with the Fancy Hem Stitch and Slipped Detached Chain Stitch. The sparkly thread is Anchor metallic. I found it a bit tricky to stitch with as it sort of unravelled when pulled through the material, but I found that if I let it unravel the final effect was still OK.

What a good idea to use the TAST stitches in a triangle to create a Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteMetallic threads are hard to work. One tip is to use bee's wax or another thread conditioner to make the thread go through the fabric more smoothly.
such a unique card this will be, such imagination too lovely. Like Queenie said beeswax is good, I use it for hand quilting and EPP all the time
