I got my 2 Magnifico threads by Superior in the mail on Monday (white and a purple velvet) and later that night jumped right into my micro-stippling of the background on my paisley project. If you remember, my hope was to 'raise' the paisley designs up, by stitching closely all around them...almost like trapunto.
Well after 5 1/2 hours of stippling and one hour of frogging, last night I finished the white background. I love the effect, but can't understand why no matter what size needle I used, the stitch holes seem to stay. Guess I will have to wet it when I block the piece and try to get rid of the stitching holes.
Tonight, I sat down to work on the background for the purple Radiance fabric. The effect here is just as I had hoped. Truly loving the paisley design that now pops!
I got one corner done in about 3 1/2 hours.... 3 more corners to micro-stipple, hopefully each done in one sitting :-).
I can't wait until the stippling is done, so I can move on to the next step on this piece. It is definitely singing to me :-)....WooHoo!!
Night all,
Renee
