Chicken kari embroidery tips

when youare doing shadow work or chicken kari embroidery on sheet fabric like malmal,organza or thin cotton, you can end up having big gap inthe embroidery like inthe right leaf.in this project I am doing embroidery from front.

 In the right leaf embroidery,when we run out of thread weturn the work to back side and hide the thread in stitches.them we thread a new skein and knot it andstart working from a new place according to stitching.in this way we can see a gap in the embroidery from front that does not look nice .this gap is more evident in case of broader design

To avoid this when we start a new thread,we must join the thread where we finished the stitchso that we have a cross over at the back that is missing in the right leaf.

You can see the difference between the two leaves from back.here the left one(the right one from front)has gap.whereas right one has consistent stitches.
