I mentioned in my last Mountmellick embroidery stitch along post that I wasn’t entirely happy with the way the stitches sat on the lower left side of the leaf. I wondered if I’d be happy leaving it like that. Of course the answer is “of course not!”<\/p>\n

When I drew lines on the picture so I could show you how bad it was, I realised just how bad it was – AWFUL!\"badly<\/a>It really shows you what a horrible job I did of it.<\/p>\n

So I pulled all of that part undone. I found that there were lines underneath it (its a few days since I stitched it, and I couldn’t remember) which guided me badly, so I drew new lines over the top and began restitching.

I am using the same piece of thread as before, but because I pulled it all undone, it lost much of its twist. So before I started again, I retwisted the thread back to where it should be. Thankfully its not too furry to re-use. If it was, I would have used a new thread.<\/p>\n

So here’s the finished result. Possibly to the rest of you it doesn’t look too much different, but I am much more content with it now fixed.
