    Free Autumn Cross-Stitch Chart – Candle with Flame

    August 19, 2022 /

    Free Autumn Cross-Stitch Chart designed by Frony Ritter Welcome the warm hues of Autumn with this FREE Autumn Cross-Stitch Chart, designed by Frony Ritter. Stitched using Sulky Filaine™ Petites™ Thread, this design “blooms” when brushed with the Filaine Wire Brush, creating a 3-D effect. Begin cross-stitching just the flame glow, and then brush it out to your liking. Then proceed with the remaining design or leave the design un-brushed while still achieving a slightly “fuzzy” texture. ABOUT FILAINE PETITES FOR CROSS-STITCH Filaine Petites are available on a 50-yard spool, making them perfect for smaller projects and handwork, such as cross-stitch.

    Free-Motion Maple Leaf Embroidery + a Free Project for Fall

    October 12, 2019 /

    Give this Free-Motion Maple Leaf Embroidery a Try! Is it a free-motion maple leaf or a thread painted maple leaf? Sulky uses these terms somewhat interchangeably. However, thread painting is a more detailed representation of the work. Notice the layers of colors and shading put into this maple leaf, using only thread!  It is done by free-motion stitching, but the technique really is thread painting.
