HOLE

FREE BONUS VIDEO on the website

Eyelet holes are normally circular and most often used for broiderie anglaise, worked in white thread on white fabric but they can be a fabulous addition to your slow stitching.

• The circle is drawn onto the fabric and outlined in tiny running stitches.

• The centre of the fabric is then snipped vertically and horizontally.

• The surplus fabric is turned back and a row of closely packed overcast or buttonhole stitches is worked around the circle.

• If you like, the surplus fabric can then be trimmed away on the back of the work.
