| design "diamond" |
This design is more difficult
to make then for instance "zigzag" or "cathedral",
but made in black, white and three shades of gray it gives a beautiful
brocade-like result.
Start with the darkest
color and embroider the contour of one diamond. You can start somewhere
in the middle of the fabric you want to cover. The second working-drawing
shows you very clear the length of the stitches and how they stagger.
Then, go on with the contour of the diamond next to the one you have just
finished. The first stitch is also the last stitch you have made. Go on
make a row of the outermost side of a row of diamonds. Next you can finish
the contours of the diamonds above and below the first row. Half of them
is already made.You finish by filling in the diamonds. Doing this you
can often go from one diamond to another without cutting the thread.
Below you can find two
good working-drawings .
