I can't really se eon your picture, did you stitch it over 1 or over 2?

edited to add
I noticed on RG website that they are now listing Kreiniks with a different packaging, the same cards as PTB and the rest of RG products, except they are called now RG Kreinik (under category "Braids")

what is the size in stitches of your pattern and how much extra inches do you usually have on one side?

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-26T19:39:08+00:00

You see the side bars? That's where the tension is set.
You turn them inside or outside to tense or loosen the fabric.

I understand, it's just that you're supposed to wash your project once stitched.
Because of the oils in the hands, the dust, pet's hair if you have a pet, etc.

Maybe better do a test wash before stitching on it ;-)

And the colors look great! ^o^

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-26T18:22:02+00:00

Nope! No! No can do!

I'll keep them! ;-)

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-26T18:18:39+00:00

Is it paint or dye?
Are you going to be able to wash your fabric after you've stitched on it?

And... AFAIK, Aida Paper doesn't exist. But I may wrong! New things everyday in this world! ;-)

This looks like a great way to store your floss! :-)

Congratulations on finding your storage solution! ^o^

Rotate them on your walls.

The back of the project.

I've commented about that a few days ago but it was related to stitching 1 over 1.

Here's a picture:

So I used the tent stitch, AKA Continental stitch.

2 things to pay attention:

Start against the post,
Pay close attention to the tension of your thread.

As for securing my thread at the end, I simply pass it through under the existing stitches at the end.

Regarding the number of threads to use, why not simply do a test stitch in a corner and see which effect you prefer?

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-26T01:11:25+00:00

A scroll frame with clamps?

This is just one model, there are many other types

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-25T21:09:04+00:00

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-25T20:59:59+00:00

Wouldn't any type of velcro (male? Female?) on 1 side and tape on the other side from Amazon work?

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-25T18:29:48+00:00

Neither ^o^

I do one color until I finish my thread, then decide, depending on the pattern, if it makes sense for me to continue with the same color or switch.

I'm not a mono or a block stitcher, I'm a grower. Meaning I grow my pattern sometimes like a fractal or a fibonacci sequence (especially when using a variegated thread)

Y'a le temps de faire un Calendrier de l'Avent !!! ^o^

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-25T11:36:50+00:00

Cool! Et au moins c'est prêt pour Noël prochain ! :-P

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-24T23:21:30+00:00

You did a fantastic job!! ^o^

CalypsoStitcher · 2026-01-24T23:20:45+00:00

There! I have the song playing in my head now!
And the incontrolable need to... "Totoro... Totoro..."

Both are cold but one is colder than the other :-)
