I started the first 3 weeks of my embroidery world with hand stitch. These are just a couple of traditional stitch samples I have put into my technical file, however I feel as samples on their own, they have an extraordinary feel. I enjoy the simplicity of the stitches (from left to right; straight stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch, fly stitch and blanket stitch), and the way that they contrast with the stark white fabric. I feel that when creating such simple samples, the ground you work on is so important; with this, I tried to choose fabrics that already had a natural slight pattern within them. I wish to progress these stitches into more detailed and intricate samples.
My French knot sample was also another initial sample that I particularly love. This was a technique that I'd always seen within other peoples' work but never actually taken the time to learn myself. Again, the ground choice is so important when French knotting, and I specifically love the fact that you can see through to the back of the fabric. Like the previous samples, I am looking forward to progressing and developing this technique.
