With an upcoming briefcase commission, I'm looking back at one I made a couple of years ago. Thoughts welcome. (Not sure how to publish more than one image at a time but will give it a go.)
Terry Millard is my stitching hero. Here are a couple of not-great photos of today's experiment. Tightening the "back" hand first was quite helpful, Terry. Plus, I think, being dead consistent on hand angles and string tension. The photos show 3.4mm bridle pierced with Amy Roke 3.38 and stitched with waxed 532 lin cable. Lightly hammered.
Latest row of stitching looks great! I like how the Roke 3.38 and 532 looks.
I’ve done what feels like a mile of practice stitching on scraps similar to yours. Anytime I see someone doing something I haven’t tried or read about a different technique I break out the scraps and give it a try.

And thank you!
