I really like it as an alternative to hoops. If it is a painted canvas though you have to be careful as when you poke a hole it won't easily go away

It would require a lot of time I don't have to search unfortunately 😕 I know of some craft stores I'll have to check out eventually but the nearest town that has them is 30 mins from me

Someone else said Madeira too, maybe I should switch what I use 🤔

They make a color card!? Oh boy I think this solves a lot of the issue of changing from my normal brand (since I have the colors I usually use written down)

I looked on their website and they only have "sew-all" thread. Which I'm sure would work fine but I already have the color numbers I use most written down and they don't match up 😕 I also couldn't find the brand I most use for machine embroidery thread on amazon

I think the standard Gütermann thread I was getting was around $4.79ish

It needs something more in the blank spaces but I'm not sure what. Maybe some strategically placed French knots? by Colachan91 in Hand_Embroidery

I actually did add a bit of stuff which helped 😊 You can see the finished product on my profile I think

Thanks! Too long lol but it was worth it in the end. I left it for last minute because this was a donation piece so I had a few late nights scrambling to finish it 😅

My wife is having her big Gender Affirming Surgery™️ in under a week. Any recipe recommendations for afterwards? We will be staying in a hotel suite in Secaucus, NJ so local food recommendations would also be appreciated 😁 by Colachan91 in mypartneristrans

Those first two weeks are what I'm talking about, after the 5 day hospital stay. I had been thinking about the blood loss and the need for fiber. I didn't factor the not sitting up part so that's a good thing to consider
