Sparkle and Stars | Mindful Slow Stitch | June Stitch Along Part 4

This week we are adding sparkle and stars to our mindful slow stitch= panel. This is Part 4 of our June Stitch Along.
In June we are Looking Up as we create Slow Stitch Inspired By the Night Sky.
Today I'll show you how to add binding to our panel. Then we will use thread and sparkly beads to embellish the background and bring it to life.
If you like what you see and want to catch all the videos in this series, you can subscribe to this channel, and if you click the notifications bell, you will never miss an upload.
Join me at 2.30pm GMT every Sunday for a restful time of slow stitch, embroidery and textile art. Each month we are going to create a complete piece of art that we will create bit by bit each week.
Feel free to follow my design, use my piece as inspiration, or you could use the same techniques as me to create something totally original.
I hope to try lots of new things this year as I create my 2024 stitched journal. I hope you will come along for the ride!
Please tag me when you post your creations on social media. @featherstitchhouse and use #fshwingingit24 so that I can see your beautiful work.

Beautiful finish to this month!!❤

I love the little sparkle you get when you move the piece around.

[@featherstitchhouse]

Thanks. I love the blessing filament. It's so subtle. Bling isn't my style, so it's a way of adding sparkle without it being too much. Glad you like it.

Hi Rebecca, I am relatively new to your channel and discovered you while searching for videos on applique techniques. I am from the Midlands UK. Crochet is my main craft, but for the crochet course I am undertaking, I need to include at least one other craft and so need to brush up on my embroidery skills whilst trying to learn applique. I had no scraps of fabrics and so am currently purchasing scrap bags from online stores and one or two kits, in the hope I can learn enough to make my own design. It is going to be a slow process but I am now hooked on your brilliant videos from which I am learning such a lot and really look forward to Sunday afternoons for the next one! Thank you.

A good way to build scraps is Charm packs are Inch squares and mini charm packs are just 2.5 inches. All the fabric coordinated too
I do prepared edge applique which I find looks better then needle turn, check out Karen Kay Buckley interview from 2020 with AQS

Hi Rachel. So glad you are here. Textile art is addictive. Once you start building your stash, it's hard to stop. I am from the Midlands originally too. Lovely to meet you. 🤗
