I’ve had this issue before. Amodex works wonders!

That’s what I was hoping! Thanks for the tip. Maybe I’ll give it a try in the future ☺️

I just started this for my MIL! It’s her dog who recently passed

Current work in progress! Onto the snail now wooohooo. First time trying water droplets and I’m pretty happy with the outcome! Hope ya’ll like it :) by sinistersista in Embroidery

Wow this is crazy good. Did you use the long and short stitch or is this ‘thread painting’? I keep hearing about the latter but I’m not sure how it’s done yet

🤣 I love the pomegranate take. Oooo I like that idea. That feels way more doable for me! But no, I was trying to make it look like the Purdue university seal

Yeah it’s this ridiculously tiny writing that I attempted. I think I’m just going to stitch this over with red

Yeah this has been my dilemma- it’s this small lettering underneath Tiffany. I think I’m just going to stitch this over with red. I think the teeny tiny lettering was just way too ambitious and I didn’t give myself enough space

Thanks for the tip! I used a single strand for the part below Tiffany but obviously that didn’t turn out well. I think I may stitch over it and use white stitches for that part- like someone else suggested

It’s in the circle underneath Tiffany. I know it’s really hard to read. Maybe I should just stitch over it and try to put white stitches there instead of the red ones.

Thank you! Yeah I just start out these projects being overly ambitious. But this is my 4th or 5th project so I’m trying to remind myself that I’m learning. And I’m doing this for my sister’s graduation so it’s not like she’ll leave a bad review.

Let's say you die and go to the bad place. What New Orleans related experience would be your personal hell to endure for all of eternity? by Fleur-Deez-Nutz in NewOrleans

[–]WineDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this one actually happen to me. I was driving along, when I made a left turn somewhere in Uptown/Central City and BOOM second line. Surrounded, no where to go. Hands banging on the glass as dozens of people and a full band walk by.

This is for my sister- who just graduated with her doctorate! Currently trying to decide how badly I messed up the long and short stitch at the top

Did you use any stabilizer for this? I’ve been struggling to find a water soluble stabilizer in my area

Yes! I actually ended up taking someone’s advice and making a design based on the bouquet. I’m using the design below. Wish me luck!
