It's taken me 1 yard of Lurex to do this much vine :
Edit : Not 1 yard - 1o yards! (I just looked at the packet)
I remember asking people how much gold thread I'd need for my vine approximately, and the answer got was "a lot". I didn't realize how much tho. A big lot! Thankfully Lurex is inexpensive.
doing two lines of Heavy Chain stitch to form the vine. Each stitch is across two threads.
(Note this is a pretty old photo of the sampler. My camera is definitely dead)
... another order to Tanya Berlin needed!
I won't go right up to where the completed part is - I don't want subsequent threads catching.
