broider_barones asked.
Photo below shows the first row of half circles stitched along a fold. The bottom edge is folded so the next row can be stitched.
How do I get my half-circles so even? I cheat! I cut a circle of the desired size out of heavy paper, folded it in half and I hold it on the folded edge of the fabric as I do the outermost line of stitching, then simply work my way in.
I'm also doing it slightly differently than how it is depicted in Wada. http://kaizenjourney.blogspot.com/2009/08/karamatsu-shibori.html shows continuous rows of stitching for each concentric ring. Yes, I'll have more stuff to tie off, but I'm curious to see whether it makes a difference in the final pattern. I want my circles farther apart in each row and that's an awful lot of loose thread to leave hanging to get tangled in.
