Intermediate decorative triangles: how to refine

By · · ~1 min

Sometimes I think there is more to Intermediate decorative triangles: how to refine than it seems. That’s why I sat down to write it out slowly.

First things first: get comfortable. Pillow at chest height, feet on the floor, shoulders down. Start tense, finish tense If you fancy, I’ll leave Advanced butterfly wings and variations.

Repeat it three times before deciding you can’t. Finger memory needs its time.

What you will need

You’ll need this, nothing more, nothing less:

  • Flat pillow.
  • Thread of suitable weight.
  • Practice pricking.
  • Loaded bobbins.

How I do it, step by step

Don’t skip any. Everything links in this craft:

  1. Review the basic crosses before starting.
  2. Follow the pricking step by step, no skips.
  3. Keep constant tempo through the piece.

Where it gets sticky

These are the stumbles I see most often:

  • Changing tempo mid-exercise.
  • Not marking the start.
  • Pulling too hard on the outer pair.

Variations

When you have it under control, try these:

  • Combine with other motifs for richness.
  • Document your version in the studio notebook.

Nothing more for today. The folks at Encaixe have courses and materials; whenever you fancy going in-person, they’ll treat you well.
