Mudi kuttu/pearl knots

Now a days what we have calling pearl knots/french knots are called as Mudi kuttu in olden days. These French knots we can use as like in the place of beads,chips, etc., Sometimes we can use for filling also.

Here I have done French knots for the design on my bed sheet.Four colors i took to complete this bed sheet.Here we can see that....... The colors i have used are green, red, violet, blue color.

 

Its worked on pure cotton bed sheet. So it took just 3 days to complete this project.The beauty of mudi kuttu design is improved the beauty of my bed sheet. wat u say frnds....

French knots Tutorial:

Method 1: French knots are done by holding the thread in left hand and wrapping the thread and then inserting in to the fabric. By this method you have to put down the hoop for each knot.

Method 2: It is usually not understand by saying. so that's why i will post the video tutorial of this very soon.

The full bed sheet after completion of project is.......
