LESSON 75: Palestrina Point

Tutorial for Palestrina Point:

We present the tutorial for Punto de palestrina. A point little known by name, but really very used.

It is used on curved and straight lines with an embossing effect. It is best to use a firm, round thread for a more striking effect. For example, a metallic thread will suit you very well. You work from left to right.

In fig. A: Pull out the needle at 1 and make a clockwise loop and hold the thread with your left thumb

Put the needle in 2 and pull it out in 3 with the thread under the needle. Tense the thread a little but without stretching too much

Make all the knots the same size. Repeat the steps, spacing the knots to your liking. Close the last knot with a small stitch at the end of the row.

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. It does not go unnoticed. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a blunt needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special pearl or mouliné thread. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
