Crayon tinting your embroidery

by Jen (September 2, 2008)

This is so cool looking!

Looking to add a little oomph to your stitcheries? Wanting to have more color but not wanting to satin stitch until you get a sore wrist? Then consider crayon tinting as a fun, easy alternative to fill in your outlines and add shading and dimension to your project.

Lauren Brandy explains how she uses crayons to fill in lots of gorgeous color and highlighting before stitching in the outlines of her pattern. She includes instructions for setting the crayon in the fabric so it won’t rub off everywhere.

    Oh, for pete’s sake, where is my brain, LOL? I’ve fixed it now, MamaMay - there’s a text link and the picture links to it, too. Thanks for the heads up!
