Towel with Dragon.

Had to do a towel and two pieces of fabric for a small dice bag. The great difference in size asked for a different stitch: a double run in the small one that was 98 mm high, a "floss" stitch (stitching each stitch 7 times) for the large one that measured 145 x 195 mm. Still a bit damp from removing the wss.

Gorgeous! For the "floss stitch", did you use a heavier thread,too or did you just run it 7 times?

I just used 40wt embroidery thread and for the finer details a triple stitch to get as few jumps as possible.

Thanks! It's a terrific effect!

Thank you. Yes, you are right about the fabric, one is a satin, the towel is fairly heavy.

Changing the stitch is a clever thing to think of. They look terrific!
