Truly successful embroidery relies on colour to express emotion and mood, focal point, suggest patterns, retain traditions and relate cultural storytelling - when you think about it, colour has a lot riding on its shoulders, but it’s a burden of pure pleasure once you break through that confidence barrier - and that’s a huge struggle for a lot of people, so let’s break down some of those barriers in this episode of Stitch Safari, let’s offer some insights into how to use colour in embroidery, what suggestions may help people conquer colour confidence and what other embroiderers do to help them choose their colour palletes.
