Covering up your mistakes in hand embroidery

Today's article is about being lazy and still having a connection to embroidery.

But also the existing morality . "Good sewing is not always done properly. A good storyteller is someone who can hide his mistakes.

Now the most important thing ... Before giving the "lazy" advice, I would like to remind you that a well-made seam from the beginning is always more visible than many hidden flaws.

Yes, there are situations where it is better to hide mistakes than to repeat them. But if you have the opportunity and strengths, and you are strong enough, it is often better to do it again :)

The idea for this post came to me while preparing a new embroidery design. As you can see, it already has a beautiful pattern on the petals, which are covered with long and short seams .

When the seams in the other knot fail, the seams are a little more difficult to repair. This is due not only to the fact that the rope is more elastic by pulling the rope with another layer, but also to the fact that it consumes the original layer.

Do you know what I mean?

So I had to correct myself, and if I made some mistakes, I would hide them instead of repeating them.

There may be other situations in which it is better to cover up than to repeat mistakes. But in many cases, if there is nothing to prevent it, it is better to do it again. Contract. :)

Well, now let's get back to our bad girl advice, right?

Let's look at the photos before and after our model. You can try to identify the "errors" in the image on the left and see how they are corrected in the image on the right.

Today we are going to fix theseams of the chamomile , where the curve comes out and is mostly wider.

The base of the CC lazy strip is very wide - rectangular, which is not always pleasant.

And sometimes you realize this mistake only after finishing the whole sewing process, which means that first you need to remove the thread from the small layer of the anchor, and then from the main loop.

However, if you can, of course, it is better to do it again. If you are in a limited area, you can cover it with:

Insert the needle into one of the lazy pearl punches.

Insert in the same place, but only after sliding the needle under the remaining line. Placing the rope in the seam will be like a belt, bringing the two sides closer together.

But remember the elbow tension.

If you read the Steam Accident Course, you will understand why these errors occur in this example: why curves look like bones.

However, even if you know how to avoid mistakes, you can sometimes make mistakes, right? Especially when you are in a hurry or confused.

Let me remind you again that it would be better for the signal to repeat such small turns. So, if you are worried about doing something, remove these points and repeat. Readthe end of the crash course to learn how to handle narrow luggage rotations.

But let those who say that we are in a state of haraam see how we can cover up these mistakes.

And it's really simple. Add only two dots between the existing ones (because it is a curved weave, because the dot is too long, there is no network connection).

Move the needle to the left (or up if the line is horizontal).

Insert the needle to the right of the strip (or down if the line is horizontal).

Sounds good, doesn't it?

Now we can repeat with some other parts of the elbow.

And we will fix it, because the tips are not enough.

Bring the needle to the left side of the piece, bringing it to its final position.

So this is a permanent choice.

It may seem a little awkward at first, but sewing is fun at first :)
