More patterns by Tam's Creations
We have just added 8 more patterns by Tam's Creations. Four of them are Blackwork patterns and range from beginner level (the little Blackwork bag) to more challenging with the extraordinary Starmania pattern. If you have never tried Blackwork before you might simply want to try the designers exquisite series of Biscornus.

The other patterns include 3 cross stitch banners (or table runners) as well as a very pretty Secret garden mandala. This mandala pattern is a delight to stitch because in spite of its geometric appearance, it hides lovely details of fountains, gardens pathways and flowers. The pattern is ideal for framing, for making a cushion cover and of course, given it's a perfect square, making a giant biscornu!

Biscornus:
Step-by-step instructions (compare two mounting techniques)
The most current technique for mounting a biscornu is to stitch two pieces of fabric, outline the border in cross stitch or backstitch and whipstitch the two pieces together to mount the biscornu. Barbara Ana, (who designs some of the most popular biscornus patterns) had already made some excellent instructions with step by step photos available to all on our website.

Together with her lastest biscornus patterns , Tam's Creation is suggesting an alternative method for mounting a biscornu using color coordinated fabric for the back. This can look real pretty if you choose a fabric that matches the color of your threads. You can also add trimmings and other embellishments.
Mounting a biscornu using a piece of color coordinated fabric for the back instead of regular needlework fabric (instructions by Tam's Creations)
Thanks to both designers, you can download free step-by-step instructions for mounting the biscornus, in either technique.

Autumn squirrel , Tam's creations
Many stitchers wonder what technique they should use when stitching with overdyed and multicolor floss. Should you always stitch one cross at a time. Are there any alternative techniques?
With this point in mind we asked our designers how they like to use the threads. It turns out they had many tips to share!
