In this Metal Thread embroidery project, you’ll learn a range of traditional techniques, including couching to secure the Metal Thread, creating Cutwork loops by cutting and stitching through a fine metal spring, and shaping Pearl Purl edges.
The strawberry is finished with dimensional silk purl leaves in the rich blue tones of the original print, adding texture and depth to the design. Once completed, the embroidery can be carefully cut out, backed, and transformed into a decorative hanging, a brooch, or appliquéd onto another fabric.
