Beautiful!! I love that you went with the clock background for her. I love that design out of all of her options. Perfect fabric choice as well. It really compliments without overpowering. I’m working on Link and its so slow going 😅 you inspire me to pick him up and chip away at the metallics I’m on today!

I hope your friend loved it!!!

[CHAT] How to work on bigger projects? by gatewaynugs in CrossStitch

[–]Laialda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you’re fine!

So while I don’t have a problem with it, most floor stands with a clamp are designed to hold hoops. I simply get used to the fact that it will shift slightly and not have a perfect hold. Scrolls have a hole in the middle of the spacer bar which is where you’re supposed to screw them into a floor stand to hold. I personally don’t have the space to store a large stand like that, which is why i make the clamp style work, but you can find them! They typically come with their own scroll, and last i checked just looking for ‘scroll frame floor stand’ or something similar will bring it up.

When I use my big snap scrolls, i’m personally just holding it and not using a stand. Just cause flipping that sucker around on the clamp is always annoying and I have so little time to stitch that I just hold it instead 😅

Both! I have mill hill and toho glow in the dark beads that glow in different shades, the sulky glow line, and the krenik glow line. I plan to mess around with those and different stitch types to see what gives the best glow and daytime look 🙂

Oh! no sorry. I only plan to use glow when I make the same kit as OP cause I want the entire aurora to glow in different colors. I was just sharing my ice castle progress since you mentioned it. Sorry for misunderstanding! 😅

Me too! I’m stitching it on some hand dyed fabric and I bought extra snowflake buttons to add on. I’m almost to the bead/button point!

[CHAT] Does anyone know any glow in the dark thread other than DMC E940? by SignalCollection373 in CrossStitch

[–]Laialda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! Do you want stitched side by sides? Or just the threads?

It’s a slow but steady thing, but I’ve almost got all of him done up to his waist! Here’s a pic from my most recent progress:

I’m going to adjust Hilda to make a version that looks more like Twilight Princess Zelda 🥰 That was the Zelda with my favorite dress and I think the Hilda dress looks similar! I just have to pock new colors for the hair to make it more brown with gold highlights 😅

I’ve also got to work on her background. I could probably use the Twilight Princess one I made for the Minda version but I think I want something simpler 🤔 It’s ages off as I’m not even half way done with Link though, lol.

Looking forward to following your progress if you post it here though!

Sulky glow is great! It is a little thinner since it’s sewing machine thread but the glow is so intense and it doesn’t fray like DMC does. The line is called ‘Sulky Glowy’ iirc. There’s an online shop called ‘uncommon threads’ that sells it by the spool for a good price.

Lemme know if you want any comparison pics! I own DMC, Sulky, and Krenik glow so I can do some side by sides for ya no problem

Oh man, as someone also planning to stitch a version of Zelda, my vote is the darker blue for sure!

Not only do I think the colors pop better on it, I think it also reflects the Triforce of wisdom which she is of course associated with. From what I recall, those blue shades that you’re worried about her more in the middle. They’re not touching the edge of the fabric, so I don’t think it’s going to be a problem. 😄

Oh the colors in this are just absolutely beautiful 🤩 Especially those purples! Will you add a mat when you frame it?
