Today I wanted to share an embroidery mistake with you. The picture that has most of the embroidery filled in was transferred onto the fabric with a transfer pencil. Problem? The marks wore off before I finished the hawk. I will finish it but for the 2nd hawk (these will be a set of cuffs) I traced the picture onto tracing paper and stitched through the paper onto the fabric with a running stitch. It took a little while but as you can see, I have a pattern that can be followed and won't wear off. Once the stitching is done, the basting stitches can easily be removed.
Not sure who is getting the hawks yet. I did a set for Baron Erec a few years ago and I'll try to get a picture of those. I have used silks and cottons for both sets.
