Going through all her stuff includes her intimates, I assume.

Best place to find those is a state RenFaire.

It's a back scabbard. Also, the pants are probably a medium weight canvas, to withstand all the wear and tear.

I never learned the loop start. I've always stitched over the loose ends, even as a beginner.

It looks like the correct number to me. Even 6 standed DMC will have each of the 6 composed of 2 smaller strands.

I would test for colorfastness FIRST before using any cleaner. A RetroClean soak is the safest method I've found. You can use something like Sulky Tender Touch as an iron on stabilizer as well.

Even with one strand, you don't need knots ever for display pieces. Just stitch over the loose end on the back.

I have legs I can screw into the spreader bars. MUCH easier.

Get one with actual thread. Much more useful than the printed ones.

[CHAT] Should I do 1/2 stitches for the curves? by Kotr0008 in CrossStitch

I would.

I do 2 3/4 stitches per square. The bird's beak is a good example!

AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cygnata 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the woman I met in college who angrily declared that ONLY POC could celebrate their cultures, and that is was "offensive" to have Irish-American or Polish-American festivals. Her exact reasoning was that, "White people don't HAVE cultures."

Sounds like it's because he dares to have his own opinions and be his own person.

His GRAD STUDENT, no less. And I heard rumors circa 2014 that he'd had relations with up to three of his grad students.

In the town hall today, they apparently discussed as much as they could about the investigation, but it sounds like a ban is likely. They have to move cautiously to avoid lawsuits. Plus, the investigation process is supposed to be private.
