In Canadian smocking folds can be created in three ways
1. By joining two points
2. By joining three points and
3. by joining 4 points.
Further variations can be made under each method by changing size of the square, by leaving gaps between rows or columns and by drawing rectangle grid instead of square grid. Using flower type stitch in-between.

Hi Ramamani ,I think you have nor gone through the whole thread. see all the pages .I have shown shell pattern ,which is done by joining two points.next comes arrow head pattern which is done by joining 3 points Then comes flower pattern which is done by joining 4 points.I have explained them all with images.Donot just read.Draw graph and start smocking.Blouse pieces which we get during weddings will be useful for this.see and let me know.

 

Hi Vani,

Thanks for your reply. Actually yesterday i checked all the posting. I think i had some internet problem. That is why i can't see all the postings
i belive. Anyhow today i go thro all.

Another doubt. Is one metre blouse bit is enough to make the cushion.
I tried one round cushion. 176cm X 70cm (u only gave cloth size)
the size is ok.

But in one metre blouse length is 100 cm. breadth less than 85 cm.
is this size is ok to make flower design, arrow head design cushion.

I am sorry to troubling u

I told you to use the blouse pieces just to practice.

Hi swaran,
Material needed varies from design to design, Which design do you want to ? what is the measurement of smocked material do you need?
