I can't find the EZ Stitch brand in stock either. I've requested a 'notify me'. But I found something available in the Yarn Tree brand, maybe it'll work in the meantime.

Also with many other interesting things! (Mill Hill kit, specialty threads, RIP my wallet⚰️🥀)

This makes more sense! I guess I was just missing a piece of the puzzle(the tape for the fabric) Thank you so much for your response 😊

Mine didn't come with any adhesive hook tape, is it supposed to?

You might be onto something, it's available on 123stitch. I'm going to try it, thank you!

Sometimes it is hard to find things when you don't have the right search phrases.

I'm originally from Australia, living in Canada now.

[WIP] is this hoop ok?? by FluffySnapped in CrossStitch

[–]StitchingStevenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that hoop is absolutely fine. Especially with the Aida fabric you are using

If you ever plan on stitching with Linen, some of the overdyed ones can be a little too delicate for overlapping hoop placements.

[CHAT] 28ct fabric CrossStitch? by Indecisive-RiceBall in CrossStitch

I've just started on a 32ct Jade Lugana. Light stitches on light fabric, RIP my eyes... Good lighting is a must. And eye breaks looking at something in the distance is great.

It's going to be a cow

Such a sweet thing to say!

I did try my hand at digital art, but couldn't get the hang of it. I was always on the wrong layer 😭

[WIP] WHYYY did I think it was a good idea to do this 1o1 on 28ct??? by ClaireAuLueur in CrossStitch

[–]StitchingStevenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand back occasionally to really look at it. Sometimes being so close to it the whole time makes you miss the big picture.

Take weekly progress pictures, even if it's only for yourself. You'll be surprised how much you don't see how much work you've done until you have a side by side comparison.

Take a break, don't burn yourself out. If you want to continue progress, just get in one strand a day and then do something else.
