Embroidery gals Help me embellish this art piece
I'm doing a Tuscan wall as a quilt assignment in my fibre group and I decided I would embroider wisteria blossoms in French Knots over the wall. But I'm having a terrible time hanging on to the needles and pulling it through the 5000 knots I'll need. My knots aren't too tight.
My backing is a thick canvas and its driving me crazy, (not withstanding the cramping my hand is experiencing. ) I tried rubber gloves and in addition to feeling like the Michelin Man I pierced them several time (OPPS they were my husbands for when he sterilizes his wine bottles)
Any suggestions. MY wisteria is looking SOOO good but its will take me months of frustration to do this tiny detail.
Thanks
