PANSIES
- NEEDLE PAINTING Kit
of the Month
All
three Pansy needle painting embroidery kits are for
beginner embroiderers.
All
the Pansy kits have detailed instructions and lots of diagrams to
guide your through the embroidery. The diagrams are very clear
and detailed showing how the stitches are worked on each area of the
design and guiding you step by step through the embroidery from the
beginning to the end. The diagrams are also drawn
specifically for each pansy embroidery and there are no generalized diagrams.
The
fabric comes with the design hand drawn on so there are no worries
about transferring the design and the threads come wrapped on a long
floss bobbin and numbered so you know exactly which colour to use.
Working the
embroidery: Each
Pansy embroidery is worked in a single strand of the DMC floss or
Needle Point Silk Thread in the needle at one time, embroidering the
design in straight stitches. These stitches are either long and short
or are all the same length but alternate in positions so that the
colours blend together. The long and short technique is explained in
detail in the kit instruction booklet.
This technique will give an embroiderer good practice in the
long and short technique, gaining the
skills the embroiderer needs to tackle
the more
advanced needle painting projects i.e. the field
mouse and the birds.
I
am offering free correspondence and free on going critique for this
kit, for more details go to - Free

I
have given a choice of working the pansies in two different ways.
-
The
pansy design drawn on to a good quality 100% cotton muslin fabric
and provided with DMC embroidery floss. (Muslin fabric is an
excellent ground fabric to work the needle painting embroidery on as
you are less likely to get a run in the fabric or the fabric
pucker). Kit cost: $35.00 Canadian dollars.
-
The
Pansy design drawn onto silk fabric and provided with Needlepoint
silk threads. (Use the highest quality fabric and threads). Kit cost:
$50.00 Canadian dollars

Stretcher
bars are the frames I recommend to work needle painting in as you
can get excellent tension on all four sides of the embroidery
resulting in smoother stitches. For information about the frames

Frames webpage. (Parcel Mail costs apply to stretcher
bar frames).
