I received a lovely email from a customer the other day, who has been teaching herself how to do Mountmellick embroidery. I include some of if below.<\/p>\n
By the way, I haven’t sent a picture of the problem I was having with Palestrina stitch, but I did notice that the instructions in Inspirations magazine which is what I was following when I was first introduced to Mountmellick, and the instructions in [your] book differ. Since having your book and following it, my Palestrina is beautiful. Your book and your lovely nature (always willing to help) has certainly made learning Mountmellick a sheer pleasure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If you are having a problem with a Mountmellick stitch (or merezhka, Hardanger etc) I am always happy for you to send me a low-res but good quality (small enough not to overload my inbox, but good enough so that I can see what you are stitching and what might be the problem) photo of the part of your stitching that is troublesome. You’ll need to include a description of what your problem is also. That way I might be able to advise you by remote so that you can fix the problem and continue on happily.<\/p>\n
