Orange Rug Yarn Musings

Cyberstitchers, my EGA group, have been discussing making non-counted biscornu using the usual overcast edge seam. I decided to try using a pattern template so I could do a Brazilian Embroidery biscornu.

Between Friday evening and Saturday, I designed and stitched up my first biscornu. It went pretty well, although drawing in all the stitches (even with a template) seemed time consuming. In reality, it probably didn't take any more time than counting would have. You can't see it very well in the pictures, but I added a bead to the end of each drizzle stitch, which really helped visually define the ends and the fact that these are only attached to the fabric on one end.
