I looked at a lot of Karen's bullion edges... still can't quite figure out how she does something that looks sort of random and yet gets it to look great. Maybe it is not as random as I think it is . I unpicked quite a few bullion stitches before I hit on this configuration ...and, I like it. Looks like regular criss cross, but that's okay.... it gives a nice look to the seam I think.
The embroidery thread is my new Coton a Broder which I finally found. Once I got busy stitching with it I discovered it is quite creamy coloured even though it is called Blanc.... (white) .... I wasn't really checking different whites at the shop... must call the gal and see if there is a whiter white .... hahhaha.... I need stark white for some areas..
