So – another post on acquisitions from Thailand. Is this Hmong or Indian or something else? I don’t know! This design is very geometric and based on spirals, like the Hmong cross-stitch designs I showed earlier. However, instead of cross-stitch, the design is in extremely fine chain stitch (see the closeup) like the Indian embroideries. It’s a simple pattern, but the colors are very bright. I like the starbursts.

This design looks very Hmong – and they do all kinds of embroidery so chain stitch is not out of the question.
I do so enjoy your blog posts – and am a subscriber. Thanks so much for all your sharing!

this is really lovely. I would be interested in what scale it is. Could you post a photo with something in it for reference? I’m thinking I would like to try this chain stitch with one strand of embroidery floss, silk…and am wondering how it would compare.
yes, i’ll do a follow-up post soon answering everybody’s questions.

Hi there! I’m going to recommend you ask Mary Corbet, at Needle ‘n’ Thread, because she does a lot of tutorials and teaching and is amazingly helpful. She knows way more than I do about how to get techniques working properly. Her tutorial on chain stitch is at http://www.needlenthread.com/2006/10/embroidery-stitch-video-tutorial-chain.html
