STITCHED BY Gillian Muggeridge
This design was stitched using DMC stranded cotton and
Josy Rose sequins on 28-count cashel linen over two threads
of the fabricGlistening Koi key
After you’ve completed all of the cross stitch, fractionals and
backstitch, thread your needle with one strand of white thread
to attach the sequins to the design.
Bring your needle up through the fabric and through the centre
of the sequin and take the needle down at the top-left edge of the
sequin. Working in an anti-clockwise direction, repeat this two more
times around the sequin, with an even amount of spacing between
each stitch (like the spokes of a wheel). This will add a whole new
dimension to your stitching. For a pretty finish, be consistent!How to...
