May Round-Up

It's time to let go and move on. See what happened on the Stitch Floral Blog in May :)

Congratulations to all the Muslims celebrating today! May our fasting be accepted this Ramadan!

How are the first days of summer going this year? We have a strong heat, so I've been almost absent for the last few days. Next time I go out remember to bring an umbrella haha.

However!

Let's backtrack and return to May's posts so you can see what has been lost.

Last month's hero was truly buttonhole free.

Since February we've been exploring some open fill hand embroidery techniques: a unique hit when you can still see the fabric or bottom seam. We examined the seed seam , thearrowhead , the herringbone seam, the fillet , and then it was the turn of the loop .

We already covered two basic ways to work with curls in April . But there is much more to this technique!

So back in May we talked about using aloop with the wrong shape . Let's face it, how often do you work on perfect squares, like in the usual embroidery lesson examples? Rarely enough, so to speak.

In this article, I'm sharing a way to identify the two most common shapes that come to mind with wrong-shaped curls, like a leaf or a petal. I developed this method myself due to a lack of other training resources on the subject. There may be different points of view on this situation, so you can consider my method more as advice than usual.

Next we talked about changes to the buttonholes . Something that really intrigues me, but I still have a hard time understanding it, haha. However, I've shared with you two of my favorite options (hope you'll forgive my poor performance) and I've also left a link to a book where you can see more options to practice :)

And we have closed the loop question topic with the True loop lesson. Yes, still a bit of confusion when naming the points. The latter is why I call it a true separate loop , because it 's literally stripped of the fabric. It is one of the most common elements of cultivation, allowing you to create three-dimensional shapes and figures that rise above the fabric of the earth.

Having completed the agreed subject of curls, we proceeded to needle painting. And to be more specific, we talked about filling out long and short point forms . My example works with the same color, but the same method can be used when working with different shades.

I've wanted to talk about this topic for a long time (I usually have a list of topics for a series of needlepoint drawing tips ). But the exact reason I brought this up is because I'm using a lot of long and short seams in my new design, the kind you can see in the post (I used it as an example) and you can see it here. in addition. A photo titled "This Round". So I hope those of you who are buying a new theme can read this post if you need further help working on it.

Finally, we talked about embroidery needles. I'm one of those players where not all needles are sorted by type and size. So I have ideas and it's really fun to see them come to life. These steps are outlined in the publication Choosing a Needle for Embroidery: 4 Things to Consider .

This topic is also important, because if you get a needle recommendation in master classes that you buy or look at embroidery projects and needle magazines, you should understand that these recommendations indicate the exact fabric and thread used by the author of the project. . If you go left or right in the material list and select your item, you need to adjust it according to the embroidery needle setting.

I hope this article will help you not to miss this topic :)

And that's it!

My main goal is to finish and launch a new design. It's the most colorful work I've ever done, and it's also very different from the style I usually create. It's full of long and short stitches, so anyone who wants to practice this technique brace yourself - you're in for a real party!

I'm so excited and intrigued by the result and can't wait to show you guys the final result :)

As for the rest of the month... Unlike usual, I still don't have a plan for June, hey! I will work on that now. Tell me in the comments what you want to see or learn in this blog and let's get started :)
