***** ANNE FISHER DESIGNS July 9th ~ Monday, July 29th 20% OFF *****
Greetings! July is going to be an exciting month at HON! Not only do we have an exquisite trunk show from ANNE FISHER DESIGNS but we are continuing the 10% off finishing on all ornaments dropped off by Saturday, July 13th.
STITCH OF THE MONTH
Corduroy Stitch
(in varying widths)
In the blow-up above of the background of a recently finished “Downward Dog” acrylic tray, the background is stitched in varying widths of diagonal long stitches worked horizontally. Notice how some rows are over two and the others over three. The stitcher randomly changed the direction of the stitch. This stitch can be worked horizontally or vertically, in one color or in complimentary/contrasting colors and/or in a mixture of fibers to create the desired affect. When used as a background stitch it works up quickly (which we all love). Working on stretchers bars is recommended for this type of long stitch. It will lay flatter and keep the canvas from pulling out of shape.
