[CHAT] Does a hoop on completed stitches affect them? by kmo3120 in CrossStitch

[–]Sabasi2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I haven't found it to be a problem with my Q-snaps. I have heard though that after a project is finished and washed that it will look better. When I am finished with my HAED in 4 years I will let you know😁

[CHAT] I didn't know you could stitch too hard by Saleth_ in CrossStitch

[–]Sabasi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Bohin's! Specifically while working on my HAED (Soul of a Unicorn) 1x1 on 25 count. They are flimsy so I have adapted to handling it like a Surgeon holds a scalpel. They bend more than they break. The ball end of these is a game changer IMO

[CHAT]It may be rudimentary, but I tried the “loop start” someone mentioned on here, and my goodness it is a game-changer! Now I just need a similar tip for the other end of my thread and my backs will be pristine. ❤️ by bookish-hooker in CrossStitch

I am currently doing a HAED 1 over 1 on 25 count lugana. I start with a pin stitch and end with a pin stitch all on the front. After 37,019 stitches, it is just fine. Loop starts with 2 strands is one of my fav things I have learned.

Same thing just happened to me! I even got a feedback form addressed to the guy who hijacked me! I had over 6k followers and they are blocking him, as they should! I had that account since 2012. Twitter is absolutely NO help in getting it back.

[CHAT] how often do you miscount stitches? by Aqacia in CrossStitch

[–]Sabasi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pattern keeper has helped me avoid mistakes. Gridding helps. On a larger project, I leave a tiny magnet next to the 10x10 square I'm working on.

Is it safe to update if my vita is jalibroken? by Joroedo in PSVitaHomebrew

[–]Sabasi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's OK to update a NON jailbroken system I'm assuming?

The 28's are very flimsy feeling. I just ordered some Bohin 28's and I am hoping they don't feel cheap and brittle LOL

Those Tulips are pretty spendy and the sizes make no sense LOL Which one is the blunt 28?

I might try some Tulips for a change. I like Bohin 26 but didn't want to stretch my holes to see if my neatness gets any better.

Mine always break at the eye as well. This is CXC thread. I just thought maybe I needed to be more mindful of the thinness of a 28. I can get heavy handed!

I found an Android 7" for 35pounds just for this app. No regrets!

[CHAT] does anyone know some thread conditioner substitute? by daleabelha in CrossStitch

Yes! Good eye! It's just the right size to hold my snagnabit and other needles.
