Finally: part 4 of the free bellpull

I’m afraid that it’s been an unforgivably long time since I last posted. This has been due to some health problems, and also because of an exhibition that I hadn’t planned to show in, but was talked into. But now I hope that things will slowly get back to normal, because I have a huge list of commissions that I really must make a start on.

However before anything else I need to post the next part of the Jacobean bellpull, so people can get on with stitching it out. The .pes v.6 file is here, and the worksheet is here. This is the fourth part of the bellpull, so if you need to download part 3 it’s here, and parts 1 and 2, along with a picture of the finished project, are all here

Finally – just one point. In the past few weeks I’ve been stitching out some designs that I digitised many years ago, and I occasionally find that they have strange jump stitches here and there. Now, I KNOW that those jumps weren’t in the designs when I first did them, because I always test my designs very carefully. My theory is that designs digitised with very old versions of the PE Design software may develop problems when they’re stitched on the newest machines. The jumps I’ve noticed are small and make no difference to the final stitchout, and for various reasons they’re very difficult for me to fix, so it’s possible that you may encounter some of these rogue jumps on the Jacobean bellpull. If you do, I sincerely apologise, but as I said they should make no difference to the final result
