#WIPWednesday • Still not much starstuff stitching, but I moved onto the legs of my #symptomatology #embroidery this morning in yet another medical waiting room. #SciArt

#WIPWednesday • Two big appointments this week meant I only worked on my waiting room symptomatology #embroidery. I’m getting close to halfway done on the body outline. #SciArt

why do i keep doing backstitch to myself (its because i love mussels)

I will say as a large woman it is important to know how to backstitch repairs because I've lost count at how many times my inner thighs have ripped a new perineum window in a pair of jeans.

Last week I worked on a little seasonal freehand #embroidery. I drew up a chalk outline, did it in quick backstitch, and then picked colors I switched between at will as I went along with long and short stitch. I really like the black back for this! It was nice to have a small, easy project.

Honestly I ended up just sewing it by hand because I fucked up with the sewing machine like 15 times 😭😭😭😭 spaced backstitch will not fail me

Backstitch makes your own thread an obstacle: stitch across a card, then dive through single-use eyelets to slip underneath it. Released October 9, its 47 puzzles take about 1–2 hours by the creator's estimate. Free in your browser.

At the start of the week I was still adding backstitch detail to the first bookmark and was about halfway through stitching the second one. I’ve started a third tonight as well.

Ahhhh yes, perfect backstitch use! 🦈 🙌 🪡 (Also I hope you feel better soon!)

Nice job! I am fucking terrible at satin stitches tbh. You might find a smaller needle helpful for a design that size, easier to see what you’re doing. I also personally find it easier to do my outline in a backstitch or chain stitch first.

It's finally a mammoth! Now on to the backstitch.

Oh! I guess I could backstitch on the squares if I use a walking foot? It'd make them thicker, but that could be interesting texture addition too maybe. 🤔

#WIPWednesday • A small bit of work on my starstuff #embroidery — the jellyfish galaxy for the surgical keyhole scar below my bellybutton. And a lot of work on my simpler #symptomatology piece got done during a long wait to see a doctor yesterday. #SciArt

Ciampa is really threading the needle with how stiff he works! Pardon my bias, but if someone doesn't watch him, he'll end up giving someone a really bad backstitch, and might be facing serious fines, the way he clips corners with his moves.
Must condemn Ciampa for this, tbh.

Apparently, he called the spot on the Fly...
It was a really out of Pocket move...
It was more dangerous than it Seams...

backstitch is one of those things that is soooooo annoying and a real pain to do but also if you can make yourself do it it's literally fine. 2 things off the list but also the osaka basement deadline approaches....

It's cool, but it's very painstaking and difficult. I'm completely satisfied with the work I've done, but I don't plan on repeating this feat in the foreseeable future, haha. There is: cross-stitch, petits (quarters of a cross), French knots and backstitch.

Symptoms have been flaring for a week so I’m reminded to hold this gift made by @annakwood.bsky.social, who’s ill herself. Check out: Anna Wood - A Life in Nature on substack.

Got a ton of compliments on my new shirt at work today.
I saw it hanging on the rack of Backstitch Bruja’s booth/room at son of monsterpalooza and had to get it.
Nice soft short sleeve button up with ghost paisley!

Third and final letter done.

Should have chosen a darker fabric colour to make the white pop more. It didn't stand out enough on rustico so I had to backstitch and my backstitching is terrible 😅

Just need to stick it on a card now.

folks on fb marketplace drive me nuts. why would i pay $300 for a sewing machine that can't even backstitch? for this make and model, $300 would be the price for a fully functioning machine
