Laid Work and Couched Fillings – Beyond TAST Embroidery Challenge

For the third Beyond TAST challenge, we explored laid work fillings and creating patterns using couching.

To be honest, my heart wasn’t in playing with these stitches, so I learnt some classic ones instead. (I really like them, I just didn’t want to invent my own.)

Squares and leaf shapes filled with various styles of laid work and couched embroidered fillings.

To find instructions for all of the techniques I used, check out my Laidwork Pinterest Board and “Embroidery Stitches” by Barbara Snook. You’ll probably find instructions in any embroidery book that has more than the basics.
