Thank you for your feedback Sarah, it is very helpful. I am now going to start lesson 3 😊

Dear Sarah, thank you so much! It was such a great pleasure learning these new techniques from you!🌹🌞❤️

Marita,

I think your monogram is beautiful – very delicate and neat, it looks like you have that cylindrical shape all the way through, which is tricky to do.

I would suggest that with your feathered chain stitch, if you pull just a little tighter on your thread as you come back up through the chain will help to get a consistent shape of the…[Read more]

Hi Nikki,

You’ve done a nice job with the box construction, everything looks nice an well fitted together. I can see a couple of the ladder stitches joining the inner to the outer, but this I think is due to the pale thread used, if you had a darker thread they would probably be completely invisible.

On the trailing, the over stitches look l…[Read more]

Becky,

I think the knot at the join is a lovely little touch! Your trailing is nice and neat, there is a small wobble just before the cross over, but you’ve done a nice job with the tapering and on the join in the outer ring.

Thank you! I am not completely new to embroidery but this work was very difficult for me. It was very hard to cut the carton exactly to measure, lacing was also very difficult. The monogram was the hardest, especially making the lines of various widths and closing the oval.

I think it looks lovely – well done!

Hello Sarah,

I just finished Lesson 2 and have attached photos.   This is a first for me with trailing, hopefully it will improve over time.   Any feedback is appreciated.

Looks great!

I finished the monogram. Since I didn’t like the way the threads joined at the bottom of the vine, I put a small colonial knot right at their intersection.

Hi Becky,

As soon as you have completed the trailing for the monogram you can remove. I usually spot remove rather than soaking my fabric – either with a paintbrush dipped in plain water or with a water spray.

Thank you.  I am nearly finished with box, then I will domsome testing.
