    Hi Anu,

    Glad you are able to understand the instructions.
    I will put a picture of the needle in the next set of photos tomorrow if possible but you can ask for a cross stitch needle or a tapestry needle and it is a blunt needle. This is for learning on the matty cloth and for the net work you have to use very thin crewel needle or embroidery needle no. 9 or 10. All these needles are made by Pony company in India.

    Regards

    Jayashree

    Hi all,

    Some more designs for you.

    The sheets have borders
    1. Tigers claw border where only the central line including the squares are completed on the return.
    2. Betal not border where either the upper half or the lower half of the main design ( structure) is completed on the return
    3. Bugadi border is treated like a 2 sided symmetric figure where you go up the central line and complete the line till you can turn either right or left and finish the design according to the number and the arrows indicated. Sheet 1 and 3
    4. 3 coloured border where the starting points are indicated for all 3 colours.Sheet 3
    5. Lotus motif where the 1st of the 8 petals is drawn. This is done in 2 colours and they are used alternately. pls draw the other petals on yr sheet before commencing the pattern as I cannot upload a complete lotus. Sheet 3
    6. Peacock as requested. The work is done in a single colour and the embellishments are added later. Sheet 2
    Do let me know how you are doing and try and upload pics of completed designs.

    The last 2 types of stitches are
    Negi which is the weaving stitch
    Menthi which is the simple cross stitch but care must be taken that all the crosses in 1 direction are done 1st and then the crosses in the other direction is completed

    Regards

    Jayashree

    Hi Leela

    I am happy that you find the instructions easy to follow. It is feedbacks like this that makes me try harder to put in as many designs as possible
