Today I have a detail from section 50 on my Love of Stitching Band Sampler
Stitches Used
In this area using a rayon thread, I laid down a pattern of lines in running stitch. I then laced thickish metallic braid through. This created a secondary pattern of spaces which I added bugle beads to. Since running stitch is one of the easiest stitches to learn and lacing it is just as easy this is an ideal pattern for beginners. My tip would be to use a cotton thread however as for new hands to embroidery rayon can be frustrating.

I struggle with Rayon threads but I think I can handle it in running stitch and dress it up like this. What a great tip. Thanks!
It is looking very interesting and …..beautiful, moreover.
