stitch surgery will be performed. Morning is always the best time for surgery and this morning is no exception. It didn't take long at all once the first clip of the thread was made. I've tried to show you in the slideshow the steps taken. I decided to clip in the center of the cord needing to be removed and pulled each end to the side. Secured the ends and then inserted the new length of cord slipping my needle underneath the single strand of silk. This also proved easier than first thought. I went slowly and carefully and I am thrilled it turned out without creating any further problems. If you haven't done so previously, go to yesterday's post and read all the excellent comments including one from the designer, SharonG.
Many, many thanks for all words of wisdom and to all that encouraged me to go forth and fix this eye catching glitch on canvas. Moving on to the next section, see you soon.

Good job! I missed your post yesterday. I'm glad you did the repair, especially since it turned out to be fairly easy!
ReplyDeleteA girl has to do what a girl has to do...I glad you repaired the worn thread...you would have always seen it and never been happy. Sometimes mistakes can be delt with but others will always show up.
ReplyDeleteIt worked and now you will not need to look at that nasty untwisted cord again.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by how carefully you fixed the cord, and how good it looks now! Thanks for the step by step illustration; the pictures really helped me to understand what you did.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Done and all but a memory now.
ReplyDeleteApplause!
