My first attempt at hardanger machine embroidery - a runner for our coffee-table. I did not use a 'cut-work' tool. The designs are those of Lodia Da Silva. The photos are not all that clear. The material is a light cream colour and it is tone on tone. Thanks for looking and perhaps I can inspire some other Cuties to undertake hardangar embroidery on their embroidery machines. Greetings to all, Patricia

1457914384Love your runner, Patricia, well done! Lots of work, aligning and embroidering all the designs.... that's impressive.
I have googled Lodia Da Silva, as I have never heard her name before, and found her designs in Secrets of Embroidery. Thank you for showing us your runner.
Hugs, Lidia

Hi Lidia, thank you for your kind words. Yes, you are on the right track. Lodia's own site is 'Into embroidery' and she trades with Secretsof.com. I have since also seen that Advanced Embroidery has hardanger designs that are well-worth viewing. Advanced Embroidery has a special discount at present on purchases until Sunday.
Let me know how you get along please. Greetings, Patricia

The designs I used are those of Lodia Da Silva (from South Africa). Her designs can be found at Secretsof.com and her particular site there, is 'Into Embroidery'. I have since noted that Advanced Embroidery also has hardangar designs which are worth looking at. Thank you for your comment and please keep me posted. Patricia

27358WOW WOW WOW!!! Pat, this is absolutely FABULOUS! Especially as it's your first attempt.
My Mother in law has done this style of embroidery by hand for years and now at 88 is no longer doing. She would be so impressed by your machine embroidery attempt at it. I think you've done a brilliant job and I hope one day to try it too. Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

Thank you Chris I appreciate your kind words., I too have a hand-made hardanger runner. I will endeavour to get a better photo so that you can show your Mother-in-law. Do give it a try; it has many possibilities and a good presentation. Love, Patricia.

I appreciate your response, thank you. A double layer of Avalon+ (the Vilene - material type) is hooped, together with the material, for each design. And no additional stabilizer is used. Will you be trying it? Patricia.

Thank you and I am pleased that already there is one lady that I have inspired to try the hardangar technique. I have a Bernina, Deco 340. My largest hoop is 5x7 (this was used for 5 of the designs) and the 4x4 for the other six. Eleven individual hoopings. Please keep me posted. Greetings. Patricia
