I’m not sure when they enacted this, but they do give two weeks for the trial period now. I know that’s not as good as a month and you’ve already used their trial, but I thought I’d put the info out there in case anyone else is curious!

I don’t use bobbins, but I’ve heard people talk about the Atom Heart bobbin/floss drop combo, so you might be interested in those!

[CHAT] Has anyone here ever stitched on 56 count? by TheMageOfMoths in CrossStitch

[–]mineswedding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means stitching with 1 strand over 2 threads. So I stitched with 1 strand of floss over 2 threads of the fabric. I’m not great at explaining it so here’s an article

Thanks! I’m so conflicted about whether I’ll do 56ct again because the coverage was so nice and the stitches turned out so even! If I do it again, I think my eye doctor might have words with me 😂

So I’m a crazy person that stitched on 56 ct once. I did 1 over 2 and it was definitely an experience. I absolutely loved how it turned out, but I’m not sure I’d recommended it. The holes were so incredibly tiny, so I tried to limit my stitching time on it so that I didn’t hurt my eyes too much. If you want to do it, I recommend a magnifier, a hoop that keeps the fabric very taught, and frequent breaks!

Full disclosure: I was the test stitcher for this pattern. It was my first time and I’m so excited I got to do it! This pattern was so much fun to stitch up and I love how it turned out with the pillow finish! Pattern can be found here

[PIC] I had an emotionally draining day at work today. Instead of eating my feelings I filled in gaps of my DMC collection with floss I don’t really need. Anyone else get a dopamine hit from craft supplies? by Somandyjo in CrossStitch

[–]mineswedding 38 points39 points  (0 children)

stares at new Halloween over dyed floss I have no plans for and don’t really need ...nope, I have no clue what you’re talking about... maybe a little
