    Julia Ackerman replied to the topic Lesson 1 – Main Discussion in the forum Forum: Whale Tale Journal – Pilot 3 years, 1 month ago

    I’m finding it difficult to follow the backstitch in the red circle due to the graph lines is it possible to darken or make the stitch lines wider. Also in the blue circle from my experience you need to state if these stitches should be 1 over 2 or 2 over 4.

    the graph on page one when enlarged is easier to read as the graph is in a different p…[Read more]

      Catherine Jordan replied 3 years, 1 month ago

      Hi Julia,
      All the diagonals in the red circle are over 1 down 2. Each intersection of the graph represents a hole in the linen. Same for in the blue circle. On the true diagonal, work down 2 over 2, if possible, rather than 1 over 1 or 4 over 4. The enlargements (details) are taken from the original graph, so all match to the original graph.…[Read more]

    Dawn R Donnelly replied to the topic More specifics on supplies needed in the forum Forum: B Sampler 3 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Julia, you could use it, but it may not look the same as the original piece.  And, you would treat each square on the Aida cloth as 2 linen threads. Does that make sense?

    Thanks, Dawn

    Dawn R Donnelly replied to the topic Two Questions: Basting starting at the bottom right and Bokhara Couching in the forum Forum: B Sampler 3 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Colleen, it doesn’t matter where you start for the basting. Whatever is easiest. It will be removed later.

    For the Bokhara Couching, after placing the first long stitch (working left to right), you’ll start couching working from right to left. See the graph on page 8.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Thanks

    Rand, I have two Questions:

    1.  Does it matter is we baste starting from the top left versus starting at the bottom left?

    2. On the Bokhara couching, after laying the continuous thread from right to left, do we start couching from left to right and continue in the same way for each couched line?

    1. Dawn, thank you for putting this “B” Class together. I have a piece of 18 Ct Aida cloth I bought in Italy I would love to use. Is it ok?  I do have the 28 Ct listed just in case.

      Dawn R Donnelly replied 3 years ago

      You would have to do some adjusting, but I think it might work. And, some of the stitches may a bit different than mine. Treat each square and 2 canvas threads.

    Thank you, Sarah.  I am so looking forward to this class!  My kit has not arrived yet, but I am not concerned.  It will get here when it gets here!   Until then, I can enjoy the lessons with you all.  (I have a tracking number, but live in a relatively small town, so postal service is a bit slow.)

    Hi Sarah,

     

    I’ve just checked your tracking and it is also currently in customs, and hopefully it will clear very soon. I will email you the tracking information so that I don’t share your address to the forum.

    Hi Sarah –

    Just to let you know, today is 2 January, 2023, it is a holiday in the U.S. which means no mail delivery.  I have not as yet received my kit for the course.   If you have a tracking number I would appreciate having the information.

    Thank you – looking forward to the class.

    Happy New Year!

    Regards, Sarah Heeren
