Music Progress
I have spent more time stitching than I probably should lately, but I am loving stitching this music piece. I can't believe how fast I'm flying through it.

I've started on the backstitching, which is arduous and plentiful! (Pics of that in the next update). I am currently debating if I should backstitch the inside of the music motif.
The pattern doesn't say to backstitch it, but I think it might help the word pop, especially considering the fabric I chose to use. What do you think?

I think back stitching the letters would be a good idea. You could always just do one to see how you like it and then decide if you want to continue or not.
ReplyDeleteThe design is very pretty. I like the colors.

I agree with Jennifer...I'd test it one one letter to see how it looks. But it's a beautiful piece! Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching great progress :D back stitching will make the letters stand out more.
ReplyDeleteI think that is just such a beautiful piece... Maybe don't do the backstitching in black but in a color that is in the design as well... that way it won't be too "hard" on the design, maybe use the dark red or grey?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of using the brown/copper Kreinik that is used on the outside border of that motif.
DeleteI vote for backstitching too! The kreinik sounds good if you can bear it!! Or a similar colour thread if not.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece. I'm surprised the letters aren't stitched. I would diffenetly backstitch around them.

Yes, I definitely vote for backstitching inside the letters too.
