I have finished the wheel at the bottom
of the design and changed the kantha border lines to
paichano border lines because the filling stitch inside
the border lines looked a lot better with paichano
stitch in my test sampler..more about that next week.
The spokes of the wheel is done with
paichano stitch using 2 strands of yellow embroidery floss shd
# 289.The dots are stitched with kantha filling stitch
using 2 strands of black embroidery floss.I have filled the outer
black ring area (refer the pattern) of the wheel with 'jod'.
A 'jod'
is nothing but 2 or more rows of aligned kantha
stitches.I have filled the area with 3 rows of kantha
stitches but if you are working on a larger pattern then you could
work more rows. Next I filled the inner black ring and the empty circle with kantha
stitches using 2 strands of black embroidery floss. I chose to fill
the inner circle too because I find it too small for another color
change but you can do that if you'd want to.
I
have also worked a circle of paichano
using 2 strands of yellow floss shd # 289 between the two black rings
of the wheel.
The
borders are now done with paichano stitch.We
have already stitched the borders with kantha
stitches.Now all you have to do is whip the kantha
stitches using 2 strands of black floss and make it into a paichano.
See
y'all next Wednesday with another interesting filling stitch.Please

Happy
stitching!
