DRAGONFLY
Kit of the Month
SURFACE EMBROIDERY
The Dragonfly is an
intermediate Modern Jacobean technique.
The
kit comes with instructions and diagrams for each stitch. The silk
fabric comes with the design hand drawn on so there are no worries
about transferring the design and the threads come wrapped on a long
floss bobbin which are numbered for your convenience.
Working the embroidery:
A piece of metallic leather and organza fabrics
are applied to a silk background
fabric. A variety of different embroidery
stitches are worked on the design using DMC floss
and Kreinik Metallic #4 Braid. These combined with the needle
lace wings on the dragonfly gives this traditional Jacobean
design a modern touch.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free
on going critique.

of the Month

I
recommend stretcher bar frames to work Modern Jacobean in as you can
get excellent tension on all four sides of the embroidery resulting
in smoother stitches. For information about the frames visit my Embroidery
Frames webpage. (Parcel Mail costs apply to stretcher
bar frames).
9 Inch Stretcher Bar Frame and Thumb Tacks: $15.00 Canadian Dollars
All
Modern Jacobean kits come with one No. 10 embroidery needle. As
these fine embroidery needles can be difficult to come I have given
you the option to order extra needles below.
