Crazy Quilting Supplies from Evening Star DesignsDon’t Fear the French Knot
10 19th, 2009
No matter the art or craft, there will always be that one task that hobbyists hate to perform. Whether it’s because of perceived difficulty or the physical exertion required, some duties just seem like too much to bear. Even the burliest, most experienced do-it-yourself types hate hanging drywall in a new home. It’s back-breaking work, and one slipup can be very expensive indeed. In the realm of embroidery, the French knot is the rough equivalent.
But while sheetrock is undeniably straining, French knots are actually easier than one might think. They require skill and dexterity in the fingers to be sure, but with the help of a few embroidery books, you can learn to accomplish and even master this daunting quilting feat. Of course French knots are not just infamous because of their degree of difficulty – they are just as celebrated for their visual appeal.
