I did some vertical stitching and horizontal with a satin stitch, I did this in both a thick and a thin thread. The thicker thread tends to look more dense, bold and solid than the finer thread.
I then did some chevron style stitching, mainly in thicker thread, but i had a little go with a fine thread at the bottom.
With the thicker thread, i started with the thread quite spaced out, then got quite tightly packed, to see if this effected the texture/ appearance of the thread. The light tends to hit the colomn of stitching on the right (pointing downwards) more, giving it a more three dimentional look. I then added another coloured thread, a different shade of pink to see if this effected the texture. The lighter colour acts in the same way as the light hitting it, making the pattern bolder and stand out more, bring it to life a bit more.
I had a play with some different coloured fine threads, arranging them into diamond shapes. The close compacted threads make them appear thicker than what they are. The choice of colours here almost makes this look like an optical illusion.
