Sometimes there is even a special magazine RAKAM Baby.<br />Happy Stitching!Jeanine in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846336931938366326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-88007794418946951472010-07-01T10:28:01.615-07:002010-07-01T10:28:01.615-07:00Ahhhh! :))) And I knew already that company! But n...Ahhhh! :))) And I knew already that company! But never could thought that somebody could label a post as drawn thread referring to a company.... That hasn't even cross my mind.<br />Thank you Jeanine!<br />Yes my mind is much more cleared up :)<br />I'll copy your answer. Here in Portugal we can find some of Italian magazines such as Mani di Fata or Rakam - I have many Rakam and few Mani di Fata, so your answer will help much for sure!<br />I have a great need of learning Italian: next October I'll be grand mother again of a "luso-italian" girl - this time from my son and my Italian daughter-in-law :)<br />Thank you Jeanine for your precious help.merihttp://avomeri.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-69636729344743879612010-07-01T09:01:24.923-07:002010-07-01T09:01:24.923-07:00Thanks everyone, I'm happy to help.
Meri: in ...Thanks everyone, I'm happy to help. <br />Meri: in this case (the link you sent) the Drawn Thread is the name of the company who made the Cross Stitch design.<br />http://www.drawnthread.com/<br /><br />Pulled thread work in Italian is punto tirato or it can be referred to as retini di fondo (filling stitches), and Drawn thread work is sfilato or sfilature. Punti a Giorno is hemstitching, though it can also be referred to as sfilatura/e.<br /><br />Punto Antico mostly refers to a style of embroidery which has the basic elements of a few characteristic stitches but it does have elements of drawn thread work and cutwork (punto tagliato) as well. Just to be more confusing Punto Antico can refer to some antique lace stitches in both needle lace and bobbin lace too.<br /><br />I'm not sure if I've cleared things up for you or just made you more confused now! <br />:-DJeanine in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846336931938366326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-8786070584043935312010-07-01T08:28:06.946-07:002010-07-01T08:28:06.946-07:00Dear Jeanine, I'm here again :) with another q...Dear Jeanine, I'm here again :) with another question. Long ago I was confused with two English expressions <i>pulled threads</i> and <i>drawn threads</i> and then Mary Corbet explained me the difference between both.<br />But a while ago I've found the expression <i>drawn thread</i> naming a completly different embroidery to what I call cross stitch. You can see what I mean in this example<br />http://xangles.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/stashing-and-stitching-news/ Is this correct?<br />Which are the Italian names to "pulled threads" and "drawn threads" - are they all Punto Antico? I refer as "drawn threads" what is called "Punti a Giorno" (I think) much used in Portuguese embroideries as well we use all kind of pulled thread stitches as filling spaces of a design. <br />As you see there is a great chaos in my mind!<br />Sorry taking your time!merihttp://avomeri.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930752093519960948.post-64982569363508643572010-07-01T07:23:47.894-07:002010-07-01T07:23:47.894-07:00Such another interesting form of embroidery design...Such another interesting form of embroidery design and pulled-stitch work! I appreciate your introducing us to so many forms of Italian embroidery that I may have never found on my own. I would like to try Rodi stitch, along with the Estense embroidery, and am glad to know there are books available to walk me through the stitches.
