    Use two-colour even striped fabric and floss and stitch your way to beautiful designs. The way the stitches reveal or conceal the striped fabric produces the pattern. Some magazines have patterns for counterchange. Click here for fabric suitable for counterchange smocking. Scroll down to the stripes. The pink and blue are perfect size. I also have smocking plates for counterchange smocking. Contact me for more information.
