    Any bright color can be well fit onto White.
    Go for Dark Green as a main course on it, with pink and Blue.

    Hi Lakshmi,

    Thank you very much for the suggestion on color combination.
    I would like to know what kind of thread should i use i.e satin / anchor thread for this embroidery? Lizy Dizy would be fine or should i use any other embroidery? also if you have any simple pattern can you share with us?

    Sorry to bog you down with my many queries...

    Hi Pramila,

    White has always been a fav of mine. I had done a lazy daisy work on one of my white sarees. Colors i used were - Maroon , Brown , dark Green , black, Blue and a little of gold . You can try any combi as anything will look great on white. About thread, i had used a combination of regular anchor thread and silk thread.

    Good luck.

    Hi Chitti,

    Thank you for guiding me to get the designs. I am a beginner and most of the stitches i have learnt from this very lovely site. Sine i am a beginner i want to do simple designs on my first project.

    The Saree which i intend to work is a satin Saree.. kindly suggest the kind of thread to be used on these type of sarees.

    Awaiting your reply
