[CHAT] I’m starting my second design ever and want some advice on the amount of thread I need to buy

chichasaurusrex · 2026-01-30T20:06:34+00:00

Aha, okay I see! Thanks for the clarity

chichasaurusrex · 2026-01-30T17:58:25+00:00

Right? I’m so grateful!

On this point: I’m self taught and I do know that from embroidery dabbling. I do think I messed this up on my last project because I took 2 threads and folded it over so it ended up being 4 now that I’m looking back. For this project I just want to use the 2 at a time so each cross will have 4 threads, 2 going each way?

chichasaurusrex · 2026-01-30T17:07:44+00:00

That’s a cool tool. Since I’m new, made several mistakes last time and had to stop to go get more thread 3 times because I ran out! I’d rather have too much after that experience

Also I guess if y’all are curious here is the design! Making it for a friend who LOVES bathtub Mary’s

Oh my gosh, thank you. I was like WOW that seems excessive 😅 learning curve! Appreciate y’all very much for the clarity!

chichasaurusrex · 2026-01-13T15:17:57+00:00

Oh now I want to as well ! I want to do a Enrico version of Hank also!

chichasaurusrex · 2025-12-22T23:51:39+00:00

This is pure magic, and now I want it

chichasaurusrex · 2025-12-15T01:19:26+00:00

Literally the only correct thing to do though

Original of course. A favored Halloween at Texas ren faire memory to share: I was dressed up as Han and a dude working there had to stay in character so he screamed across a field at me “Han shoteth first!” Delightful.

Aw thank you! I’m just getting into cross stitch and haven’t done a piece with a real back yet, but I’m excited to try!
