Tracy A Franklin - specialist embroiderer: December 2014
http://tracyafranklin.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Crathorne Bug - dots. Split stitch around the dot. Traditionally the needle is brought up through the previous stitch as it creates less bulk on the back of the work, but this scale is so small, it is possible to bring the needle up in front of the previous stitch and then take down through the stitch - up to you! Keep the split stitch small as it is such a small area. Satin stitch is worked out from the middle on both sides. Keep the tension firm. Cut away the remaining thread.
