Another note, as you an see in the master graph, each of the stitching areas will (besides the beads and button) line up to the outside.

Nancy Vuolo started the topic Struggling with ladder stitch in the forum Forum: Box Making: Parisian Patisserie 3 years, 3 months ago
Hi Sarah,
I am struggling to ladder stitch the box sides together. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It seems to be incredibly difficult to get the beading needle to slide between the fabric and the mount board. I only made two stitches before the beading needle snapped in two. Did I pull my fabric too tightly around the board? Did I put the…[Read more]

The master graph shows that the area is 146 linen threads wide. Remember, each square on the Master Graph represents 2 linen threads.
Don’t worry about being off, the basting lines are just guides for the placement of the stitches. It doesn’t have to be exact, as long as the outside area lines up.

Dawn R Donnelly replied to the topic Chart on page 4 in the forum Forum: B Sampler 3 years, 3 months ago
Sorry you are having problems. Have you saved the PDF to your laptop, printed it from there? That might help. The chart will be small when printed, so it might be best viewed on your ipad or laptop.
It’s hard to know what is going on without seeing it. The problems of technology, since many times no 2 problems are the same.
When I view the PDF…[Read more]

I did not see a reply to my question about the chart, and I bringing it up in a new topic here. I spent over two hours using both my laptop and my ipad to download and print Lesson 1. The charts on page 4 and 6 do not print all the gridlines. I cannot use the master chart. I used every manner of attack i could think of. The lines are more…[Read more]

Sarah, I found the solution to the curved needle problem – forceps! They grip the needle and I am finally able to push it through the fabric. Hooray – I’m back in business!

Dawn R Donnelly started the topic Area 6 in the forum Forum: B Sampler 3 years, 3 months ago
Hi everyone, Area 6 is actually 24 threads wide and 26 threads high. As long as you have the top right corner basted, you’ll just follow the graph from there. If you have already based, please don’t pull it out. Especially since we will be taking out the basting threads later or as you go.
Thanks
Dawn

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in responding. I was traveling on Friday and just noticed the email questions in my junk mail. 🙁
The basting: It’s there to help you find each area easily while you are stitching and to show. Then you just have to go to that area and put in the stitch. The guidelines get to the start and stop. Remember, most of…[Read more]

Dawn, I’m just getting started as life got in the way. Please explain the reason for the basting.

The basting is to help find each area easily while stitching. Is it totally necessary, no. But, it helps to get that part out of the way

Sarah de Rousset-Hall replied to the topic Lesson 1 – Main Discussion in the forum Forum: Box Making: Parisian Patisserie 3 years, 3 months ago
Hi Dawn,
Curved needles do take a bit of getting used to – I ended up stabbing myself in the back of the hand the first few times I used one. I hold my curved needle in three fingers rather than two – so the normal ‘pencil grip’ between your finger and thumb and then your second (or third) finger holding in behind the first, which helps con…[Read more]
