Burying knots
Good morning -
Hoping for some advice here. I have always buried knots, to the point where I actually lifted part if a nail pulling them tight (not recommended). Unfortunately, the fabric I'm popping through is rather loosely woven, IMO, although it is a first quality LQS fabric. (Henry Glass, "redwork, blackwork, indigo"). I have increased the size of the knot a little, but I am very afraid that the knits will not stay buried. They are largely around the perimeter. I am desperately hoping that washing will help. The background fabric is prewashed and has been handled a bit, making it softer.
now that I am needing to add a bit more to the middle of the blocks, I am wondering if I should handle it another way. When I tried doing tiny stitches at the start of a seem, it seemed to really show as a dent in the block. Was I maybe doing it wrong? Is there something better to do? I am thinking of going around a 2" square in each block, either in the ditch or as an echo.
thanks,
Charlotte, who is probably overthinking this
