Raingal's Back Stitch Motif 7 Project

Pink Back Stitch Motif #7

Name of the Pattern Used

Free Backstitch Motif #7 Pattern

Supplies Used and Project Purpose

I used white Aida Cloth, DMC threads 602, 603, 604, 605 and Color Variations #4180, embroidery scissors, needle. I wanted to do one of the motifs, and fill it in with cross stitch. Since pink is one of my favorite colors, I decided to use various shades of a similar color and the color variations shade that included the cotton floss colors.

Advice

  • Only one suggestion: that it might be easier to stitch using 14-ct. Aida rather than the 18-ct I used. But this just depends on personal preference.
