Have been working on this piece for about a month and did the last few stitches tonight! As someone who really doesn’t like to do satin stitch, this was a huge challenge for me. I still have a lot to learn with needle placement and angles but for the most part I am really pleased with it!
Hahahaha that was me before my last few projects. I have my glasses, and a huge light that I hang around my neck to help me see the lines I looked insane working on this
I feel you. My husband got me a rechargeable LED light headband, and it looks crazy but has become invaluable to me. He has one for himself that he uses for painting fine details on models
Nope. Your comment implies that "Allah" is a name for a different god than the Christian or Hebrew god. And they are, in fact, the same. Allah is just Arabic for The God.
Polish people call God Bog, does this mean their Christian god is different than American Christian god?
So I have always been really messy with loose threads and skipping from place to place to fill stuff in, so I made it my mission to work one little section at a time and then go back when it would be clean to or I would weave the needle under the stitches in the back so that the thread would come out near the next section I wanted to work on.
But in all fairness I worked on this little by little so I took my time a lot more than usually do.
One thing about me is i will NEVER be posting a pic of the back of my peices 😅 this is amazing! The back looks better than the front of half my stuff hahaha
One of my favorite things is text arranged in an artistic way like this, not just calligraphy but also forming shapes or even pictures. i might not be able to read what it says but it's still extremely beautiful, awesome work!!
Thank you 😭 I left a reply under someone else’s comment, but I was taught right when I was starting this project to do satin stitch at a slight angle the whole way around the letter and it DRASTICALLY improved my technique instantly.
it’s so gorgeous. can i ask what it means/says? i’ve been trying to get back in touch with my middle eastern roots & this caught my eye instantly, it’s so gorgeous
your work is beautiful! i love the contrast and the care that was put into this piece.
this is going to should so weird but you should cross post to r/showmeyourbackside! it’s for people to admire clean back hoops and yours would definitely be appreciated.
I totally understand that. For me this was an “heirloom piece” so I went in knowing it was going to take ages and it was sort of a challenge in patience for me since I have very little with projects haha
Thank you! I fell in love with a piece someone had done on instagram from the Middle East and they helped me find patterns and inspiration. I’m not sure if this is an exact match but I compared and it is almost identical if not! https://pin.it/5rPikvWsf
Edit- I used two strands, I wanted to use one to get it more smooth but when I tried it, it lost the 3D look I wanted
Thank you so much! I was given that as advice for satin stitch to always have a little bit of an angle and it helped me so much, this is what my stitches looked like before trying that
So beautiful, MashaAllah! You’ve inspired me! I’ve been itching to start something new for the coming autumn/winter when I have more time to embroider and this is exactly the inspo I needed. 😍😍
MashaAllah they're stunning! How did you get the calligraphy on the fabric? I've always wanted to do asmaul husna ones, but I'm not quite sure how to do transfer the calligraphy or even where to get the pattern!
Since it was so detailed, I printed it out, and used carbon paper from Amazon (they have white version since I have dark fabric) and it comes with little metal tracing tools that you go over the lines with and it transfers the marks onto the fabric below.
I don’t know how well the marks erase though so I was extra careful to not make any extra marks.

Anytime I try satin stitch it looks like it was done by a spider with neurological problems. This is beautiful!
