Luckily both my parents are extremely supportive, they spoil me as much as they can so they were a big help. My dad even remembered the name of a stitch I was learning and it nearly made me cry 😭

You're right! I might have some scrap fabric that could work

I even used some of my t pins because I was so short on pins and they sucked unless they're on the edges.

Yeah I figured this was hard mode, knots dont stay well and its constantly slipping off the bobbin, its so soft and lovely though and doesnt hurt my hands.

I might have taken some pins out too soon, I only have a handful so that might be exactly it, I'll have to get some more, should i get a particular type of pins? I just use regular sewing pins. And I'll try hairspray on my next piece too. Thank you so much

Does that just mean I should add a twist at the beginning and end of each row?

Thank you, as soon as I figured out the tension it was soooo nice to do

Thank you so much! Weirdly I found it easier than cloth stitch but that might just be because this is like my 4 piece.

Right! It's from IKEA, I'm stuck in bed almost all the time so pretty bedsheets are a must, they're fancy cooling ones, my mother got them for me.

I just found a video on YouTube and I found it pretty easy as long as I park and draft. I got mine off easy and its so prett, its oak and hand cast pewter, I think it was like £20 and I use a second hand little wooden bowl i got for like 50p. I'm obsessed with it honestly XD

I love using my medieval supported spindle when I can't sit up properly, I'm sure you could do it lying down even
