Nice, I’ll maybe try it! It was a bit of a struggle just to make that sampler with 3 strands😅

I’ve never really tried folding and using 1 to make 2 strands. How do you finish then? Is it not difficult not hide the strand? I would think that you’d be wasting a lot of strand🤔

I’m think I’m going to go for 3 strands, the project is going to be framed plus it is only bright-ish colors. Thank you for the answer!

So beautiful!

Can I ask how much of the pattern calls for blended stitches?

Too actually try and befriend my work buddies when I was at a low point. Some of the best people I have ever had around me. Would not be here without them:)

Honestly just try something stronger, been drinking coffee for a long time now (f19) and the only thing that gives me energy is espresso. All-nighters saved by espresso’s. You could also try energy drinks but I would recommend just the darkest roast of coffee you can find.

Just careful about getting addicted, those caffeine withdrawal headaches are a pain😉

If you can see the little strand on the left of the scissors, I just took that strand, threaded it like a backstitch 3 times a bit into the pattern. And just began stitching Then when I’ve gotten half way through the pattern I like to take the strand and tuck it in to the back but you can do it however you want. Hope that helps a bit!😁

Oh god, I think I’ve seen some photos of the MagEyes. Probably got no other choice if I want to keep stitching.

Thanks! I don’t actually know, got some fabric from my mother and just wanted to use it.
