Kari Mecca is here to teach you everything you need to know about stitching bullions! Her easy-to-follow methods will have you fearlessly tackling bullions of any size or novelty shape, from traditional roses to butterflies and cupcakes.
Did you know there are three different types of bullion designs? Kari covers all three – outlined, solid-filled and satin-filled bullion designs. She’ll show you how to build your own bullion figures by assessing the design shape and stitch placement. As she walks you through her tried-and-true recipes for success, you’ll experience her passion for creating bullion art. Determine the best way to hold your fabric and needle, whether to knot your floss ends, how you should strip and twist floss, which way to wrap, and which way to lay your bullion on the fabric surface.
You will also learn bullion variations such as striped, coiled, super long, and tapered. Kari shows you how to step out a wide variety of shapes so you can see just how each design develops. Truly invaluable are her tips, tricks and trouble-shooting fixes for working your needle and thread out of a jam – it’s not always necessary to cut off and start over.
An instructional PDF is included featuring step-by-step directions for stitching 50+ bullion designs.
