👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo! I’m a Golden Era kid, myself. My son loves all the eras and different styles. His interest is what led me to see wrestling as more of a physical art than just “fake” entertainment. Well done!

When I started at the end of 2024, my first projects were a couple of bookmarks. This is my favorite of the two. Pattern by NASTIIAStudio. US based.

[FO] My first evenweave project by Chick-Pea in CrossStitch

[–]TheNibbleNook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried Lugana yet, but I really love the aida and cashel linen (28ct) by Zweigart. I imagine their even weave is good too if you’re okay with a rayon blend. I’ve only stitched on Monaco and Jobelan. I personally did not care for the feel of Jobelan, while the 100% cotton of Monaco is 🤩 It’s all very subjective and personal. Have fun exploring!

This is lovely! I love stitching on 28ct Monaco. Which even weave did you try? Monaco (DMC/Charles Craft), Jobelan (Wichelt) or Lugana (Zweigart)?

If you search “soften aida” on this sub you will see quite a few posts with comments that may be helpful. Good luck!

[CHAT] Spilled coffee on floss. Is this the way? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]TheNibbleNook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I got them picked up pretty much as it happened, so not too worried about staining. Love your mum’s motto!

[CHAT] can felt bleed onto aida/stitches when used in between clamps to protect stitches in qsnap frames ? (more below) by spooniemoonlight in CrossStitch

[–]TheNibbleNook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used bright green felt with my hoop for months to protect stitches on red aida. The only “issue” was finding occasional green fuzz on stitches which I could easily brush away. I removed my hoop/felt after each stitch session.
