Faux Metal Gem Settings - AKA Stitched Gems

Ok, so you are not a goldsmith, nor do you know any goldsmiths, nor could you afford them if you knew them... But, you CAN have 'gems' applied to your garb! If you are or know an embroiderer.

Here is an example of a stitched 'gem' http://history.westkingdom.org/AandS/Embroidery/GemStitching.htm

Another example is here http://wkneedle.bayrose.org/member/member_metal.html














A class sheet does exist for this technique, but I don't have permission to share it, so I'm working on my version of this method of embroidery using metalic floss.
