Listed below are all the main points of the monogram Christmas decoration venture I first posted about{right here}.
I used 4 completely different stitches on this venture. For the letter, the evergreen and gold flower stems I used the Again Sew. The evergreen needles, the snowflakes and star are all Straight Sew. The purple berries are French Knots and the gold leaves are Lazy Daisy Sew.
I used a easy shade palette as properly – listed below are the floss shade numbers:
Every monogram on this sample set is completely sized to suit a 3″ embroidery hoop. After I stitched this, I used a bigger hoop with a beneficiant quantity of material. This made for a better time stitching and in addition ensured that I had sufficient material so I may collect the uncooked material edges and end them on the bottom of the ring.
After I completed the stitching, I transferred it to the three” hoop:
Subsequent, utilizing about 20″ of embroidery floss, I ran a Basting Sew all the way in which across the hoop. I made certain to go away 2″ tails of floss each at first of the Basting Sew and on the finish.
I trimmed my material to about 1-1/2″ from the Basting Sew line:
Then I gently pulled each floss tails till the material gathered into a decent circle across the bottom of the ring. I tied the tails collectively.
To make a clear end on the bottom of the ring, I used a 3″ circle of cardstock.
and glued it to the ring.
I added a purple twine to the tightening screw on the ring and my decoration was prepared to hold!
