For the Love of Stitching Sampler – Band 7

Stitch: 

This band illustrates experiments with Satin stitch and Padded satin stitch.

Instructions on how to do these stitches are in my stitch dictionary

Thread:

A hand dyed baby knitting wool, cotton (crochet thread), hand dyed wool which is about the same weight as Appletons, hand dyed Danish cotton hand dyed silk,  perle 5 DMC and ribbon floss.

All threads are hand dyed by me. The Danish cotton, silk and hand dyed wool were purchased  in bulk from weavers supplies.

Fabric:

This section of the sampler is a dress linen which is not quite an even weave, hand painted with procion cold water dyes.

Dyes:

Procion cold water dyes for the cotton, wool and silk threads

Disperse dyes (also known as transfer dyes) on the synthetic threads such as baby wool and knitting ribbon.

Size:

All samples are 15 cm (6 inches) wide and stitched together in one long band sampler.
