Chicken Scratch work is very easy to do either on a matty cloth or on a checked cloth(gingham fabric)..
now iam going to post the pics of my old saree which i totally converted into another new one..its a plain saree with a checked pallu..so i thought to make use of some embroidery on it and when googled , came to know about chicken scratch embroidery...i did this method on my pallu and the outcome was very good..3 years back i did it..i embroideried small 2 designs heart nd diamond in pallu body and temple border on edges..anchor cotton threads were used..

| wrong side |
if you feel that the wrong side is messy,you can sew a thin lining piece on that side..but i dont think its necessary..i didnt do that and it didnt hassle me anyway for 3 years until now even though i machine wash it..
for a good tutorial go thru
this site which i found last week..hope this helps..
