CHAPTER ONEK loster B locksKLOSTER =satin stitchKLOSTER BLOCK = 5 stitches over four threadsVariations of these blocks are illustrated on the next pages. When starting aproject" overcast the edges of your fabric. All kloster blocks are embroideredbefore threads are cut and removed.Two ways of cutting threads are illustrated in Graphs A and B. The greenlines and the numeral 4 on both Graphs indicate the threads to be cut andremoved.The remaining threads are called bars. These can be needlewoven inmanydifferent ways. Most important is the correct counting of threads not holes".As all diamond or square shapes of blocks are opposite each other, it isessential to use aperfect even weave fabric.All blocks are made ina diagonal fashion, and the needleweaving is donein the same way. The reason for this is because of the principle on whichHardanger is based. When blocks are embroidered, threads cut andremoved, the remaining space will be a perfect square. When following agraph, make sure that the vertical block is opposite the vertical, and thatthehorizontal block is opposite the horizontal.

This appliesthroughout the work. The red dot on the graphindicates where the threads meet.Graph 2 and Sample 2Follow instructions inGraph 1 from * to *.

Thered lines on the graph represent the threads leftafter four threads have been cut and removed,as indicatedby the green markings. Sample 4shows the result. The yellow thread indicatesthatthese threads must never be cut because onthat side the stitches do not cover the fabric.Graph 5 and Sample 5A larger block inthe diamond shape.

CHAPTER SIX

F inishing theProjec t

The e_dgeis either buttonholed or hemstitched. Ifbuttonhole stitch is used,cut remaining fabric carefully away from the edge. Itis easier to cut from theright side as there is less danger of cutting into the buttonhole stitch. Tidyup at the back and wash softly by hand.Never iron your embroidery on the right side as the twist of the thread willbe flattened. Put a cloth over the wrong side of the embroidery and usemedium heat. Iflining the work for pillows, pictures, etc, use a darker fabricto show up the design.
