Chikankari Embroidery class 5 - Balda stitch

 Today let us learn the next stitch in chikankari Embroidery.  It is Balda stitch.  It is another simple stitch but a little time consuming.  Although it is time consuming it produces an elegant look.  This stitch is mostly used for stems and fern leaves.  

This stitch uses a couching technique. Close running stitches are made over the stitch line and then couching stitches are worked closely over the running stitches.  Here couching stitches in the sense satin stitches worked closely.  Satin stitches should cover the runny stitches.  The width should not be more than that.  

6 strands of threads are used for running stitch and 2 strands of threads are used for couching.

Chikankari Embroidery class 3, Bakya stitch in 2 ways

 Today we will learn how to do bakya stitch in chikankari Embroidery.  This is a main stitch in chikankari.  It is also known as shadow stitch.  It creates a beautiful shadow effect on the front side of the fabric in the colour of the thread you are working on.  

This is the design I have worked for practising bakya stitch.

Bakya stitch can be done in two ways.  From the front of the fabric and it can also be done from the back of the fabric.  When we work from the front side we use double back stitch and when working for the back side we use herringbone stitch.  Both creates a shadow effect in the front side of the fabric with an outline of the shape we worked.   

Also, herringbone stitch is also used to work leaves and petals of the flowers if we want a filled design in the front side.  It is also used for stems.  Here I have used herringbone stitch for leaves and Pashni stitch for stems.
