I have been sampling isolated stitches using stranded cotton and perle threads on a cotton background. I chose a warm colour scheme with red orange and violet threads on a yellow ground.
It was interesting to work the stitches on this closely woven cotton fabric as there were no holes to guide the stitching, leading to the stitches varying in size and overall shape. A more even look would have been achieved by using an evenweave fabric.
