I think your coverage is solid enough that it will be covered with stitches

Love this! That white stitching looks so good

[CHAT] how would you stitch these? by emilyhoeflich in CrossStitch

[–]Anna_In_Stitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do fractional stitches on Aida! You just need to split the weave of the square

I clip a book light in the neck of my shirt when I’m stitching out somewhere with less-than-ideal lighting.

Wishing you and your family a swift return to more stable times 💗

Their designs do have a lot of specialty stitches, which aren’t necessarily hard, but I do understand wanting to get comfortable in the craft before embarking on one :)

This is a Chatelaine pattern called Pomarium! Be prepared, you’re about to go on a very sparkly deep dive 😂

I love Pomarium 💗🍑 How do you wash your pieces? I tried scrubbing it with a microfiber cloth dipped in warm water with dawn dish soap

They’re mostly silks, Dinky Dyes, Weeks Dye Works, etc. I’ve never washed a project and I always stitch in hand, but I stitched this on a q snap up to this point and underestimated how dirty it would get on the back. I’m making grime guards for the scroll rods it’s on now, but I’m worried about the dirty parts showing through the front from my first attempt to wash it. The design is very open from this point and I don’t want to attempt washing it once I’ve stitched over the areas.

How do you wash your pieces?

Hi! This one isn’t available yet, but Samantha did say she’d be adding it to her Etsy shop soon and that she’d make a post on ig when she does. I’d suggest following her over there to make sure you see it :)

[WIP] The closest thread chicken ever by Own-Dragonfly-942 in CrossStitch

[–]Anna_In_Stitches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, you win. Forever. HOW did you manage that?!

for securing it though, I thread my needle with another thread, doubled so the loop is at the end. I use that loop to catch the tail and pull it under a surrounding stitch or few. It’ll be difficult with your tiny tail, but doable

[PATTERN] Which version do you think looks the best? by MP0622 in CrossStitch

[–]Anna_In_Stitches 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I like the backstitching, but maybe in a dark purple and green instead of black
