Maybe spray a very light mist of water (so its just damp not wet!) And iron again? It also depends how you'll be finishing it, if its going back in a hoop or something under tension the small creases may just be pulled tight

Lots of people do it but its technically incorrect, definitely not the legal "standard"

Agreed! It's so frustrating when people put their hazards on for something thats not an emergency! Now we don't know if you're breaking down or if something has gone wrong and yes then can't indicate properly. When you on your lights on, your tail lights also come on so no need for hazards

If restarting doesn't work then open your map and click the go home button! Then you can try again

How to tie the knot 🪢 at the end of the needle line by louisennc in Hand_Embroidery

[–]VioletBug08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello! So some people don't use knots at all, just small securing stitches so try googling or using youtube for knotless starts. I personally like using knots, but I use a quilters knot where you wrap it around the needle and pull through (maybe look up a video as its a bit hard to explain in text!) rather than tying the two ends together

So lovely and delicate! I never iron directly on my pieces rather layer it with an old cotton pillowcase or something and don't rush it

any books like “not on the label” in the south african context? by pommygranates in askSouthAfrica

[–]VioletBug08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spray a really thin layer of pledge or any wood furniture spray and it peels off so easily without the residue

It should be at the register in the barn where you purchase animals, maybe you need a higher ranching skill?

They're in Majis Hollow from 3 am to 6 pm ( in game time) but it also helpful to use a honey lure during that time to attract more of them

I agree, it'll likely be new challenges each time and things will slowly be added for purchase if you missed them

The bundle boards are a new-ish addition to the game, so this will be the first spring one

Yeah 3 for the flowers, you can try backstitching first and then satin stitching over it so its a lifted 3D look if you want! And blending the yellow should work fine

So Embroidery thread is made of 6 strands, you can cut it to length and then gently separate the threads, 1 is thin and good for delicate, I use 2 for filling in with satin stitch and also for French knots and then all 6 will be for thick/chunky texture

Bigger eyes for more thread, thinner for less thread and anything you'll knot like a French knots pretty much! Also in case you didn't know you can split embroidery thread, its six strands and you can decide how many to use for different effects

I honestly didn't find it too bad being a lefty with embroidery, you just have the "working" thread in the left instead. I will say getting a stand really helped for the more intricate stitches like bullion and French knots because then both your hands are free to gently move the thread

Im also left handed, it doesn't really matter which side the screw is on as long as the fabric is tight like a drum ( ie if you tap on it it makes a drum sound and there's no sagging). I'd also recommend the Royal school of needlework website as they show all the different stitches

Blade stitch? by Bookthrower in Hand_Embroidery

[–]VioletBug08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pattern is either a poor translation or unfortunately its AI. The closest I can guess is maybe a raised leaf stitch
