(It’s not as easy to keep coral stitch as tidy as some stitches, but it would be a great exercise for spacing and working the stitch consistently.) Want to go small and bumpy? Try coral stitch. Maybe braid stitch, if you wanted to be adventurous! Maybe you want to go with backstitch – go for it! Or, for a whimsical and stripy look, you could go with a whipped backstitch. You can also use heavier stitches, like Hungarian braided chain stitch. I think it would be beautiful, but it also takes up a little more thread than chain stitch and it takes longer. I had to restrain myself from using Palestrina stitch as my main stitch on these. Here are basic video tutorials for chain stitch and stem stitch. That is, they are elements that could feasibly be filled, but I was leaning towards light and airy, elegant and quick, and so I didn’t fill anything. Simple, simple, simple! Many of you pinpointed the stitch choices right away, but for those who didn’t and who asked, I used chain stitch for the dominant color (the blues) and stem stitch to outline with yellow, just inside the chain stitch on any closed-in elements. The needle? A #7 embroidery (or crewel) needle. Number of strands? I used three strands for all the stitching. Chances are, if you’re avid stitchers, you have those colors on hand. What colors can you use? Any! Some of you suggested quite a few delectable color combos. And I only had partial skeins of 798 and 799.įor the yellow, I’m using 727, which is a soft, true yellow. Why the change? Well, I like the slightly-periwinkle blues… and it just so happens that I’m working from threads I have on hand (which is what I highly recommend when it comes to projects like this – they’re great for stash-busting!). And strangely enough, in the photos, it’s hard to see a difference. So, on the second and third towels (the large and the small designs), I selected 3838, 3839, and 3840. On the first sample, which you saw on Monday, I used what I’d call “classic blues.” They are – from dark to light – DMC 798, 799, and 3840.Īfter my first sample corner, I decided to toy with a different blue combination. I’m working up three samples, to go with the three-towel set for the scrolly designs. So here’s a conglomeration of information on the project I posted on Monday, with some stitch talk, color information, and tips. Then, I cover those in a blog post, including some stitch tips and whatnot that we can all benefit from. So I generally peruse through questions and try to group together the questions that people ask, that are relevant and that are not already clarified in the original article. If I spent as much time as I’d need to answer every question that comes in from the website, I’d have to live on my computer.

The full list and when it first appears can be found in the info sheet below. So, honestly, the fabric color won’t really matter much.

Starting Monday July 4th at 12:01am EST and for the three following Mondays I will drop a small pattern that represents one character from the series for a total of 4.
I’m beyond excited to announce that I will be hosting a Demon Slayer Mini SAL exclusively for my Ko-fi supporters. My shipping location is Brandon, FL 33511 for reference.Īny other questions, please ask below! Have issues? Please comment below or message me on Facebook! TAOAT SAL Room 10 – Transformation If you have questions about shipping to your country/state, you can check out and look at shipping costs there. I’m working with some great artists for the fabric, needle minders, and the extra goodies! I want to make sure I can order everything I need for the bundles early enough to get you the goodies in time for the SAL start, since most of them are hand made, and Etsy just doesn’t give that time to order, make, gather, and ship that I need. I’ve decided to go outside of Etsy and make my own order forms. You will be invoiced through email by PayPal once your order is confirmed by me (but don’t have to use PayPal for payment).
The link below is the official order form for the bundle. Part of Your World SAL Bundles are open for pre-order!
