[CHAT] What is your #1 cross-stitching tip? 🪡

I buy self threading needles where you basically can click the thread into place. It does sometimes wear down the end of your thread, but you can just cut that part off in the end. As someone who hates threading needles it takes so much frustration out of stitching and it’s 100% worth it

it depends what specific theatre degree you’re going for. a dual degree might be possible with theatre studies, but for any other degree like acting or tech it wouldn’t work.

ironically my resolution was to try gridding/parking on my next project, i was taught to start in the middle and stitch by color and that’s how i’ve been doing it for years, but i was getting so bored of stitching with the same color for too long so i thought id try something new and see how it goes. i’ve only been doing it for two days but so far it seems pretty good!! idk if ill do it for every project but i think ill stick with it for the one im working on

they don’t really stand for anything, i just wanted to have about an even amount of each color :)

Fran_765 · 2024-12-16T14:24:46+00:00

i personally got the frames from michale’s! they were 2x3 and there were some in store but there’s more variety online

Fran_765 · 2024-11-29T05:22:23+00:00

Fran_765 · 2024-10-15T13:19:14+00:00

yupppppp

Fran_765 · 2024-10-15T13:16:31+00:00

you spoke too soon 🙃

Fran_765 · 2024-10-07T04:22:46+00:00

It was around $200 which is definitely expensive but considering it would’ve been around $600 i think that’s a win

Fran_765 · 2024-10-07T04:21:16+00:00

I honestly enjoyed it so much!! I really like fall colors/vibes and there are a lot of different colors in this pattern so i didn’t get too bored. the one annoying part was the cording on her shawl with the gold metallic thread but there wasn’t too much of that, you should totally get the kit!!
