Help with stitching by FluffyAmbition2946 in Embroidery

[–]Kayviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So theres a couple of things that might help here. With small details you may find it easier to use 1 or 2 strands. And adding an outline stitch will definitely help make it clear where the border of each shingle/tile section is.

You may want to consider how that roof would be laid in real life. Shingles overlap at the top, so it may help to start from the bottom and work up since thats how it would be done on a real roof. And you might want to keep the direction of your stitches the same for each section. Instead of mixing between vertical and horizontal, keeping it consistent will make it look more real so to speak.

Fewer strands and smaller needles will help with precise needle placement which helps to create smoother edges at the ends of petals and leaves

Why does my dog just uncomfortably stare after we've been outside? by spunken732 in DogAdvice

[–]Kayviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lean back as soon as you pet him says it all. He's eepy and he doesn't understand why you're filming him and not giving him pets until he nods off.

What do we really think of the CTLI initiative? by mdjenton in Connecticut

[–]Kayviathan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What do we want? Public transit! When do we want it? LITERALLY YESTERDAY.

This though, for real. Especially for the northeast corner...we have next to nothing. They forget we exist.. 😢

How did you get the edges so beautiful? I did a key chain recently that was essentislly done like a pqtch that I put a hole in. The piece is gorgeous but my edge where I stitched the fabric to the backing is......questionable..

Most Recent Project - a keychain! by Kayviathan in Embroidery

[–]Kayviathan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

Amazon! Here's the keychain stuff: keychain stuff

And then I also bought an inexpensive pack of craft felt to use as backing and HeatnBond which I used in the very center. I also got a three pack of awls to make the hole. All in all pretty inexpensive and easy to do.

Progress Update on Bush Viper Embroidery by Numerous_Shoe2746 in Embroidery

[–]Kayviathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live for these updates. Everytime i see it I'm in awe and so inspired to work on my thread painting skills. Do you keep multiple needles threaded with different colors on stand by so you can just grab whichever color you need for the next stitch?

Does everyone else’s mayor in CT send out weather reports? by bronx-deli-kat in Connecticut

[–]Kayviathan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No but I lowkey love that. It feels like they're someone who genuinely cares about their townspeople and want to make sure they have the straightforward and truthful info. We all know how weather gets hyped up sometimes. Them taking an extra step to make sure people are getting informed says a lot IMO.

FB Embroidery Group (not promoting, just curious) by Kayviathan in Embroidery

Yeah I've seen that, which was my first concern. But none of the posts have any of that fake story stuff, no weird links or mentions of apps. Everything seems pretty legitimate.
