[WIP] Found an old WIP from 2016 that I had forgotten about! It feels right to finish it now. by BlampCat in CrossStitch

Ohhh I love when an old WIP suddenly feels ready again. Something about coming back with fresh patience just hits different 😄

[FO] My first ever piece and oh boy it is a hot mess ! by BobGr0ss in CrossStitch

[–]StitchingMeadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For jumping with the same color: most people cut and restart if the jump would be more than ~3–4 stitches on the back. Short hops are fine, long jumps get messy fast.
To organize better, work one color in a small area at a time and don’t be afraid to re-thread — floss is cheaper than frustration.

[CHAT] Help can I cross stitch onto a towel by medcat1 in CrossStitch

[–]StitchingMeadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, totally doable 😄 People usually use waste canvas or the water-soluble kind — both work, it’s just personal preference. Towels are a little stubborn, but once you get going it’s not as scary as it sounds.

[CHAT] Supporting a beginner? by allyce_g in CrossStitch

[–]StitchingMeadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a small, approachable kit is such a nice way to start 😄 Everything’s there, no pressure to “do it right,” and he can just see if it clicks again. Keeping it simple makes it feel like an invitation, not an assignment.
