VERSION TWO:
ADDING FRENCH KNOTS TO THE DESIGN
1 2
Gather your hand embroidery thread and a needle with an
eye big enough to thread your floss through.
Begin with your finished Paper Piecing Mermaids design.
NOTE: Here we show PPM9.
3 4
Thread your needle and tie a knot at the end. Pierce the threaded needle from underneath the design to
the top in the spot that you want to create a French knot.
5 6
Pull the needle through to the front of the design until all
the excess slack has been pulled through to the front. While
holding the floss taught, wrap it around the needle a few
times. The more wraps, the larger the French knot will be.
While keeping the floss pulled taut from the needle, pierce
the needle through right next to the initial hole in step 4.
Try to get as close to that hole without going back through
the same hole.
