I tried a bit of embroidery in knitting kotton no. 12
And I think I like it.
Made a little sample

I find the DMC a bit to shiny
But I will try it too.

Hi Deredere,
I would buy a DMC cotton floss if i were you. Its stranded into 6
threads. You can try to use one strand, two strands and 3 strands, and
deside wich you like!

Subject: [h-cost] Regency embroidery question
Hi,
I am planning on making a regency gown.
http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/god1/hob_1983.6.1,07.146.5.htm
And I have found the perfect cotton voile.
But know I am wondering what kind of embroidery thread I should use.
The discription says heavy white cotton thread.
It looks not very tightly spun.
Has anyone any idea what I could use?
I wish I had some close up pictures of this type of embroidery.
There is one in the Kyoto book but that embroidery is too heavy to my
taste.
Like the subtle smaller patterns better.
Greetings,
Deredere
