Lakshmi, i felt you are a great artist by reading all the post in the indusladies site. can you help me also to get the instructions / book to know about the badla embroidery. Liza
hi Lizasheen, sorry im not great only share what little i know. you get the instructions in the book of badla design books. ask for badla design books.probably you may get them at raja market.
hi thank u for the badla instructions... i have seen so many people doing it in bangalore....will v get the badla thread also in chennai. if so where.
Hi Lakshmi, i hope i have not offended you, by saying you are great. i felt it so i expressed it. any way where is raja market? am in bangalore. can i know why there are two holes in the badla needle. i saw a diagram as how to stitch it in the blog ( that 1,2,3,4 ) understood little bit. but how to finish it? regards liza
hi , its ok..not offended.. raja market is in avenue road chickpet..well badla is a metal strip..we could not knot it ..if we pass thru 2 holes badla wont slip of frm hte needle..ok u understand the stitch(like X we have to stitch).. after stitching like X on the wrong side of the fabric cut the badla leaving abt 3 mm lenght and fold it with hand.. i misplaced the needle otherwise i could have show u the pic..whn i go out this time vl buy one n post..n i have to wait for hubby's camera too
