Take Debbie Beaver's class on "Honiton Big and Bold"! She takes a traditional Honiton flower and blows it up to work it in sewing-machine thread (50/3 cotton?) in your choice of 3 colors. THen you go on to other traditional shapes, like assorted leaves (botanical, not tallies), still in sewing-machine thread and color. This gives the novice a chance to learn the techniques of Honiton without the frustration of dealing with ultra-fine thread at the same time (for novices, the techniques and the fine thread are probably both new).
