    Terry……Is there a reason you do not come up in an empty hole & go down in a full hole, whenever possible. Do you secure threads as you stitch when long spans are involved?

    I just spent a delightful 2 hours getting the first band stitched. I’m very pleased with the results. I was very insecure getting the first set of triangles positioned on the canvas. I did okay with the first set but had to restrict the second set. Hopefully, that will get better with each band.

  • As I stated before I am learning cross stitching. And what of the things that I did find out about it was \”gridding the fabric. So if some one out there can explain to me how important and easy it is?

    • Hi, Adrienne, thanks for posting.
      I think what you’re referring to is making a grid on your fabric so that it is easier to count. What you can do is baste every 10 or so stitches, both vertically and horizontally, so then you know how many stitches you have in each area.
      As to how important it is: that somewhat depends on your counting…[Read more]

    • Yes it is very helpful. Thanks!
