I've been working on this design pretty much all week (providing I can get to my stitching frame which is now living in the study).
I've stitched the bottom two triangles of the Triforce and I started the top one last night. When I was charting this, I was worried that the symmetry of the triangles wasn't right but it looks okay now it's stitched. I'm surprised how fast I have stitched this up because metallic thread is not the easiest medium to work with - plenty of Thread Heaven and a steady hand are required here!!!

The border will probably take much longer to stitch.
I will try and update again at some point next week ... that's if I don't run out of metallic thread first!
Good luck finishing the gold floss!!
ReplyDeleteI have never minded using it but it does take more time to do!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's not been so bad so far, but I have to be careful for snags and loose ends coming up from behind.
The Thread Heaven helps and I use a loop method with the thread so I don't loose the needle and have to re-thread - metallics are a real b**** to thread up!!!
I'm putting in a fabric order with "sew and so" over the weekend so I may need to order some more thread cause I think I will run out shortly!
