kutchwork filling lesson no 2

this is continuation of lesson 1 outline.

you learn filling of a single diamond.

Two important points to remember,

1 filling always starts from left on the outline running anticlockwise.

2 in filling the count is down,up,down(needle passes down ,up,down at intersection of threads).

one point to cross check is.............

outline never touches fabric except at the beginning and end points. It is worked on the outline or skeleton .or else ... your outline work has gone somewhere.

STEP 1 & 2:

start from left as in pic..1

first count in filling is D,U,D... so needle is passed under the first intersection.

step 3: down i.sec 1, up i.sec. 2 and work in the outline to turn.

the first line... u see 3 intersection of threads... and might go under the 3rd i.sec...

but wait... ..... just follow the step in picture 5 . work on the outline .

STEP 6 & 7:needle under the 1st intersection and work on outline to turn

STEP 8 & 9:

pic 8 u see 4 intersections... count D,U,D,U.

pic 9 work on out line to turn.

Step 10: end at the starting point...remember...it did not touch the fabric :-)

kutch work( sindhi taka)LESSON ONE

I am hoping that this is going to help people who want to learn the kutch work ( sindhi taka) by themselves.
Coming straight way to the point,
Following are the very important things to keep in mind.Remember these and you are already half way left in learning.

SIX IMPORTANT STEPS.OR THE BASICS.

1. there are 2 parts. one is outline or skeleton second is the FILLING
2. OUTLINE always starts from the LEFTand goes toRIGHT .RUNS CLOKCWISE
3. FILLING always starts from left on the outline running ANTICLICKWISE.
4. keep counting ' UP... DOWN.. in mind at every intersection of the thread.
5. in outline count is up, down ,up(needle passes U,D,U)
6. in filling the count is down, up, down.( needle passes D,U,D)

try to rememberlast 4 points.. now pick the needle n thread .. we are good to go.

OUTLINE LESSON NO 1

STEP 1: start from left going to top.

STEP 2& 3:Running clockwise ....

STEP4 &5: running clickwise... needle is down at intersection no 2.Last pic is finished out line.
