LEARN... BULLION STITCH
Faby’s masterclass
Discover new techniques every month with our resident stitching expert, Faby Reilly
CLASSSYKN’S MIEALSWLTESR
FA B Y ’S
T his series has been designed especially MASTERCLFAB
for those of you who are keen to learn ASS
new stitches and treat yourself to a fun
monthly challenge. The designs will cover a
variety of styles and themes each issue and
every pattern is small enough to be stitched
over a weekend or in between larger projects.
My patterns are simple to follow, and I’ll give
you clear step-by-step tutorials for any special
stitches. This month, it’s bullion stitch, which
brings superb texture and definition to a design. For this technique,
use a milliner needle – the eye is the same width as the shaft and it
will help you as you work. I recommend practising this new stitch on
scrap fabric before you start the main design. Field Flowers key
