Sampling- Cornelly

During my second week of hand embroidery i was inducted onto the Cornelly machine. At first i found it quite difficult to get the Cornelly machine to do what i wanted it to. I found it confusing that i controlled the machine from underneath it. I liked the way the chain stitches look on the Cornelly more so than the moss stitch because i think it leaves a really interesting and delicate mark which is much more controlled than the moss stitch. With this moss stitch sample i tried to see if i could create a straight line using the Cornelley which was much harder than i thought it would be. Although i thought that i managed to control it quite well.
