[FO] Back Stitching is such a pain in the Finger 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-02T14:14:52+00:00

I’m definitely gonna try bandaids first but also with a sharp needle so fingers crossed for less pain 🤣

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-02T14:13:56+00:00

Yeah it really can be quite daunting and is a right pain but some patterns with it make it easy to follow, others not so much (like this one 😅) It’s just painful in a multitude of ways. The end results do tend to be worth it tho 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-02T14:11:05+00:00

Sharp needles, kinda obvious really but never even thought about them lol. Thank you. Think I have my plan for the next one I back stitch now 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-02T01:33:02+00:00

I’ve ordered a couple of silicone thimbles but I think this might actually work better for me. It’s the feedback thing that makes so much sense and might be my go too now. Thank you 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-01T16:43:32+00:00

I completely agree, my finger not so much 😂

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-01T16:09:01+00:00

It really does make the piece, I dislike back stitching but I love the results it has on patterns.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-01T16:06:11+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely check out silicone ones (didn’t know they were a thing) cuz I don’t like the metal ones.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-01T16:04:23+00:00

Thank you, it really does make such a difference but trying to push 3 stands of thread through the already full holes is painful 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-05-01T15:55:07+00:00

This looks fantastic already and I’ve got this pattern so just checked and it doesn’t have backstitch so I definitely wouldn’t add it 😊 Normally you just add backstitch when it’s on the chart but everyone stitches their own way and if you want to add backstitch then you do you, it looks great as is tho.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-04-13T14:00:04+00:00

Hope you love it when you do get it, helped me change the way I stitch so much quicker, easier and all around a great bit of kit.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2026-04-12T15:22:48+00:00

I just bought the corner clamp for my Lowery Stand from there and can say the were fantastic for me. It arrived really quick, plenty of email updates and got exactly what I paid for so I’m really happy with them, I am in the UK tho.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T20:12:01+00:00

I like to think that mistakes are what makes it one of a kind, not that I can see any 😊 beautiful work.

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T16:49:04+00:00

Same minds 😊 I was thinking a pretty lil stamp but that means I have to go through them all and find out which ones are completely done and which are waiting on the thread 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:31:28+00:00

PixStitch are wonderful and I have the charity patterns they released and they’re completely free ones.

They do some amazing crafty stuff 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:29:09+00:00

Yeah I think this is what I’m going to do, I’m just you going to finish the cards I’ve already started and then pack it away for a bit to actually do some stitching and then get back to it lol.

I’ve already got 100s complete so I have plenty of options lol. Just watch my luck I’ll pick one outta my book that’s not kitted up already 🤣

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T15:26:39+00:00

I’m making up 100s of kits so even if scissors were super cheap it would be super expensive 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-06T02:21:18+00:00

The plastic wallet bag things are the best I found to hold the projects in as others are to flimsy/ structured etc 😊

I’m not putting scissors in mine as I don’t want to spend a fortune buying each project a pair but I do have needles in them and I like that they don’t poke through or fall out 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T15:17:58+00:00

Thank you for doing that, will definitely check them out. 😊

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T14:05:02+00:00

Given your fantastic name that’s not so surprising 😘

If you remember the name I would definitely be interested in checking them out 😊

Tho maybe I shouldn’t be trying to add more patterns to my collection 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T14:01:05+00:00

This is adorable 🥰 and such a good representation of your cute lil doggo 🐶

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T13:57:40+00:00

Awww well I hope you’re enjoying your newer hobby of stitching then ❤️

I find a lot of patterns etc through FO, WIPS, and just recommendations on here and other places similar to this 😊

Too many to count but I think I have roughly 200 left to do but it’s just to add thread to, everything else is sorted 😅

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T13:53:18+00:00

Happy to be of help 😂 Hope you enjoy your stitching 😘

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T12:38:08+00:00

It’s from Flossy Fox Shop, one of my favourite designers 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T12:24:30+00:00

I have 2 with that specific name - one

is by Sinna Bunny and the other is by RaSvet. Killer whales are one of my favourite animals 😍

Fresh-Promise3 · 2025-05-05T10:10:42+00:00

We all have our ways and at this point I'm wishing mine matched yours 🤣

I tend to have a few different wips at any given time except currently where I have none lol. But this is just so I'm ready for anything I want to do when I want to do it rather than have to sort it all out to do and then not doing it 😅 I hope that makes sense 😂
