French knots are well suited for creating an area between two outlines.
They are easy to work and frame a motif effectively without the addition of additional decorative stitches.
Rows of such French knots adapt flexibly to a wide variety of motiv shapes and can also be perfectly continued around corners.
French knots can be stitched relatively close together or with some distance between them. However, the chosen distance should be maintained. It’s a good idea to make markings before stitching.
The size of the knots can be influenced by the thread thickness used and the number of wraps.
