border embroidered with running stitch forming gradients

By using different colours, we will try to form a gradient from the darkest colour to the lighter one.

With this design, we will teach you how to make a border with running stitch with a perfect gradient.

WE will use the same type of stitch we have used so far.

MATERIALS

Aida fabric

Threads in dark brown, light brown, light orange, intense orange, light yellow and intense yellow

Sewing needle

scissors

We will begin with 6 basting stitches with the darkest colour (dark brown)

WE will make 4 bars going up and the 4 bars going down. Then, we make 10 basting stitches

We will make another 4 bars going up and the 4 bars going down.

Over these bars, we will make the same number of bars using the light brown thread.

WE follow this procedure on the next bars

Notice that we have made 2 turns with the light brown thread
