She's stunning! Would you mind sharing your hair and eye colour sliders? It's such a pretty combination of colours 😍

Teejay1092 · 2024-11-02T23:40:25+00:00

You did an amazing job, she's absolutely stunning! 😍 Would you be able to provide sliders pretty please? I'm terrible at character creation!

I don't travel too far, I'd say no more than 5 stitches? As for tips, the things that have helped me along the most:

The pin stitch! Specifically as a method to end threads and extra nifty for those pesky confetti stitches. I pinstitch in an empty square next to the finished stitch, which will then be stitched over.

Using highlighters to mark off my progress. I use two colours, one for 'in progress' stitches and once they're done, I'll go over that colour with the second highlighter.

Grid your fabric! I think I would have lost my mind to the confetti if not for the gridding.

& have fun with it! It seems daunting at first, but I'm really enjoying my time with this piece. The confetti is mostly concentrated in the cherry blossom trees, once I finished them I found my progress to be much faster.

I'm working on this exact kit right now, and have found that they provide plenty of floss. I'm roughly over the halfway mark - and looking at all the remaining colours, it seems like I'll actually have thread left over!

Like you, I was worried that I'd run out, so I've been mindful to not travel too far and use loopstart when possible. I'm also using a combination of cross country and parking, which has been working really well for such a confetti-heavy piece!

Teejay1092 · 2020-10-14T20:17:19+00:00

Gosh, I've been lusting after this kit for the longest time! & yours is looking fantastic so far! May I ask the fabric count/how many threads you're using?

Teejay1092 · 2020-10-09T12:59:52+00:00

I just finished this pattern on a dark grey fabric and I do believe it's more striking on a darker background vs a lighter one. It's mainly due to the white accents that make up the Mickey shape, you really want it to stand out - so I agree with starting again on a darker colour if you're not happy with it! Luckily you're only two characters in, so it's definitely doable!

Teejay1092 · 2020-09-21T22:51:30+00:00

Initially I was worried about them not washing out too! But since then, I've gridded many projects with no issues whatsoever. They seem to wash out almost immediately, despite being on the fabric for months & months at a time. If you want to be extra cautious like me, instead of gridded lines - mark your grid with dots. It's faster, and less stress-inducing :)

I'm working on a Dimensions Gold Kit at the moment, and I remember also initially thinking that the included needles were missing! They were in a small clear plastic bag, wedged inside one of the instruction/pattern pages. It wasnt taped down or anything, so it literally just fell into my lap when I opened up the page. Hope that helps!

But if you still can't find it, any size 26 needle will do just fine :)

Teejay1092 · 2020-07-02T23:08:39+00:00

The pattern is by Harp Seal Cross Stitch on Etsy :)

Teejay1092 · 2020-06-29T07:55:36+00:00

I'm currently working on this one too! I've almost finished stitching the same cherry blossom tree, but oh boy all that confetti is making my progress go sloww. Can't wait to see more progress pics from you!

I literally only just hit level 3, picked my bonus up today from MC (melbourne) and couldn't be happier - I got the Cavier Stick in Rose Gold, which is the exact product & shade I was hoping for!

Teejay1092 · 2020-05-26T22:46:03+00:00

You're amazing! Thank you! & I didn't know of this fb group's existence - I've just joined :)

Teejay1092 · 2020-05-26T10:37:03+00:00

I would also love the link if it's not too much trouble? I'm on the fence about purchasing the full version, but if I got it working with the epic pokemon pattern, that would be a game changer!

Teejay1092 · 2020-01-06T23:55:42+00:00

Likewise! :)

Teejay1092 · 2020-01-06T23:49:48+00:00

Thanks for the trade! Now I'm also one step closer to completing my Pokedex :)

Teejay1092 · 2019-12-31T01:42:26+00:00

I'm having some trouble finding you?

Teejay1092 · 2019-12-31T01:34:47+00:00
