Or make that central stem much narrower so it's more thoroughly covered by the chain stitch and is more of a 'suggestion' of darkness? That was reverse chain stitch on the stem, wasn't it (that's me - I'm hopeless at recognising stitches).<br />What was the gold thread that kept unravelling at the eye end? That sounds strange.<br />Metal thread you'll do a couple of tiny backstitches to secure, no no knots -they wouldn't hold.<br />I'm racking my brains for something special about using a Japanese needle. The only rule I can think of is using really short length threads for metal thread.<br />Thanks for such an interesting post! I hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in- I like technical talk, it helps me remember what to do and to learn.MeganHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842743721181682681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150054543489132189.post-56104572532721772992013-01-13T13:08:04.476-05:002013-01-13T13:08:04.476-05:00Hi Amy.

I too am in the casket class and have enjoyed seeing your journey and what you are choosing. I still have little ones at home 13 and 10 at home and my casket will be a work in progress for years to come. <br />I also signed up for Jackie's piece on SNS. I just love this piece. <br />Your ornament is coming right along and I think the leaves look great especially with the gold. <br />Thomasinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165411928389484491noreply@blogger.com
