    hi shilpa & hima,
    thanx for the encouragement. cut work is the easiest in a zig zag machine. embroider zig zag the design then burn (with agarbathi/incense stick) the parts not required in case of synthetic saree but if doing in cotton then first run a straight or rough zig zag on the design, do cutwork then stitch thick zigzag all over.
    one other "trick" that i did with the blue saree cutwork was i painted the area where cutting was required with dark blue colour so i need not weaken the saree by cutting it.
    As for the tiger design that is the whole design... I was inspired by the same design from the web site called "advanced embroidery" It is actually called "tiger eyes".
    In fact that site has very good tutorials as well.
    happy embroidering

    hi archu,
    By "without foot" I was referring to aksh's reference of darning foot. We are provided with different types of foots like darning, zipper, pico & a plastic one for fixing buttons etc.
    while working with delicate materials like chiffon you must be very careful in stretching the material in the ring. I prefer zig zags to fill designs on such materials. cheers:cheers
