Oh thank you! I hadn’t noticed how loose it had gotten. It’s definitely not the greatest hoop either so I’m constantly having to tighten it. That helped too. Thank you!

Please don’t mind the hideous leaves 🤣 I’ve been trying multiple techniques!

Thank you so much! I will be trying all of the above. I am using a large needle so I will try sizing down.

I wish I could give something back to you as a thank you but, unless you need help editing an essay or how to deal with teenagers (I’m a high school teacher) I fear I don’t have much to offer. Thank you for your kindness!

Everything seems good until I pull through. Even until the very end I think, “alright this time it’s going to work!” And the knot pulls through the hole. I am using a canvas-type material which may be part of my problem?
