We used Soie de Paris 2125 to couch Au Ver a Soie braid #4 in color 2829. On this particular dragonfly, we used a very fine silk thread in a coordinating color to couch the braid. The veins of the wing and the outline are couched metallic braid. Remember when stitching the wing to work each section of the wing in a different direction of satin stitch. You can find directions for stitching the thorax here, and for stitching the wings here. The dragonfly is embroidered exactly the same way as Dragonfly #1, starting with the satin-stitched thorax sections (using embroidery floss and metallic braid). To end the thread, whip around the backs of the stitches and when you stop whipping, work a tiny slip-style knot around the back of the stitches. To keep the starts as invisible as you can, this approach to starting your threads is very helpful. Otherwise, you’ll see the thread tweaking out behind the fabric. That is, you want to keep wherever you begin and end your threads as discreet and invisible as possible. The trick to line stitching on this fabric is to hide your starts and stops. The background leaf design behind the dragonfly is very simply stitched in stem stitch, using one strand of DMC cotton, in pale green #772.īecause this is on the Glass Linen – a very delicate, light, open-weave, semi-transparent linen – I wanted to keep the background very light and airy. Let’s dive into the final dragonfly episode, shall we? But never fear! There’s more coming! Next year, we’ll have a similar series, with a better name and some really fun projects.

This is the final tutorial in the How to Embroider (Blank) series for 2021. Wouldn’t that be something?īut we’re going to put snow and holiday thoughts aside a little longer, and finish up the second dragonfly that we started last week.
The only way the whole lively pre-holiday vibe could increase at this point would be if we got snow.
It’s hard to believe it is the week of Thanksgiving here in the States! It always ends up being a hectic week on the family front and here in the Studio for some strange reason.
