Here are all my "personal devices" in order to maintain the correct weft angle. These include a T-square, a flexible ruler, and a programming template (from my previous life). As it turns out, the thinnest devices work the best.

Midori's Goldfish
Finally got back to working on Japanese embroidery. The goldfish from Midori is easier...
The fishes have to be outlined with running stitch. I used running stitches for the fins and backstitch for the body. There are little padded blobs on the tummy, and a bump on the forehead. Midori's silk threads are 16 sugas, and they seem to be easier to work with than the JEC ones - although that sometimes is dependent on the color of the thread.

You've made a good start and the fabric looks interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing these goldfish come to life.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is very pretty, but thin, so I have to be very careful about not pulling too tightly; quite a change from the thick Nishijin gold fabric - but much easier on the fingers.
DeleteI love seeing progress shots. I will have to make sure to add a ruler to my sewing kit.
ReplyDeleteI will keep them coming. Thanks for visiting!
