Embroidery Techniques & History
What is the history of bullion knots in embroidery?
Bullion knots have been used in hand embroidery for centuries to create raised, textured details. They appear in traditional European needlework and later became popular in contemporary expressive embroidery for their sculptural quality.
How to create French knot embroidery step-by-step?
A French knot is made by bringing the needle up through the fabric, wrapping the thread around the needle once or twice, and pulling it back down close to the entry point. This creates a small, raised dot that adds texture and detail.
