Long stitch is tapestry which is done using long stitches!!
Here is a little link to DMC which shows you how to fully do long stitch!
I have completed one kit many years ago ... it was a Thomas the Tank kit for Mark :D
It really is simple to do! Why not give it a try :D
Long Stitch is lovely to do and nice and quick so even bigger pieces can be simple, relaxing and quick :D
I may even get myself another kit and give it a bash again!!

I tried long-stitch once but the threads wouldn't lay neat enough for me so quickly gave up. Mind you, I wasn't even a teenager at the time! When stitched properly the results can be really effective. I look forward to seeing your new long-stitch start soon! :)
ReplyDeleteYes you have to try again!! I found the 'Thomas' I did for Mark and now its on his wall :D
DeleteI have done long stitch on sections of needlepoint projects.

I have a needle point kit ... ooo maybe I might give that a try :D Very soon no one will be able to find me as I will be buried in threads and fabric of all varieties haha :D
DeleteI have never tried long-stitch, but if I find a kit I like maybe I will ^^
ReplyDeleteOh your should try it! Give it a try :D
DeleteI have a bargello project on the go which uses long-stitch I think, unless you just call it bargello, anyway, it's fun.
