This Kit comes with a free downloadable 17 page PDF file with 39 colour work-in-progress photos of the woodpecker but if you are looking to get a fully immersed learning experience to improve your stitching technique I suggest getting the kit and the 4 PDF files option which comes with instructions and many more detailed colour photos of the stitching process and instructions (see pictures in photo gallery and read further on).
Acorn Woodpecker is worked in needle painting also known as thread painting and long and short stitch. This is the most realistic form of surface embroidery which is worked in staggered straight stitches in a single strand of embroidery thread on a closely woven fabric, blending rows of colour to create a very realistic embroidery. The sheen of the threads adds to the soft and life like appearance of the bird.
The Acorn Woodpecker is for all levels of embroiderers, with the instructions written with the beginner in mind, please visit the Needle Painting Information page for more information on needle painting and rating of the designs from easy to hard.
The fabric comes with the design printed on so you do not have to be concerned about transferring the design yourself and the threads come on numbered thread templates so you know exactly which colour to use on the embroidery. There are 17 DMC cotton thread colours used on the embroidery.
In the kit I provide a detailed instruction booklet with 27 pages of step-by-step diagrams and instructions. The PDF files combined with the instructions will give you a well rounded learning in the technique but the PDF files are not essential to work the woodpecker.
4 PDF Lessons with Colour Work-in-Progress Photos and Instructions: The 4 PDF files are emailed and the kit with instructions are mailed……sorry I do not email the instruction booklet for the woodpecker.
PDF #1 has 28 pages, 126 colour photos and covers transferring the design and part of the branch and feet of the bird,
PDF #2 has 20 pages, 73 colour photos and covers the body,
PDF #3 has 10 pages, 38 colour photos and covers the face of the bird,
PDF #4 has 20 pages, 71 colour photos and covers the beak, eye and the remainder of the branch.
Needle painting can be challenging so I suggest learning the technique from one of my kits rather than from a book as you get much more instructions in my kit rather than a book which usually only has a few pages of instructions for one design.
I am offering free on-going critique with this kit…..you can email me at any time if you have questions or would like me to critique your embroidery.
