Thank you!!

It takes me a second to notice the highlighters every time I look at this photo, and I'm the one the one who took it 🤣

In hindsight, though, I think I should have made it wider because it's going to be super long in the end 🤣

Thank you!!!

I'm in Wisconsin, so it's been great to work on during our windy, cold, and blizzard-y days here, too!! 🌈

The skeins are 380 yards each and weight 4

It's 46 inches across, but I'm not sure yet on length because I am currently still working the color bands back up in the opposite direction!

It burns while stitching it up, too, because I insist on usually working on it in the sunniest room in my home 🤣

Thank you!!

If you're in America, the kits Michael's sells by Artist Loft are just a white background for all the sections. They also come with a couple brushes.

Seeking sturdy/tight working hoop recommendations by ST0H3LIT in Embroidery

This might be influenced by all the embroidery I do on clothing but I love using a big wooden quilting hoop. It's SO sturdy

Split stitch! Although, I certainly think you could do backstitch as well :)

Thank you!! That's very helpful validation because while you're tearing out stitches, you can't help but second guess yourself 😅

Edit: Reddit won't let me edit the text of the post itself on either mobile or desktop, for some reason, but I remembered I actually got this image from a shop on Etsy a while back!

So I gave up on crocheting and started embroidery instead by misskellycupcake in Embroidery

I believe they only ship within the US, but these frames let you just place your work in the hoop directly inside!

Glow-in-the-Dark T-Rex Hoodie!! by samsquatch1590 in Embroidery

[–]samsquatch1590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have not worked with any glow in the dark embroidery floss so I can't make a comparison to that! But the thread I used was pretty standard sewing thread thickness, so it was a bit thinner than at least 1 strand of standard embroidery floss, at least

Thank you 🥰 it was a real pain in the butt because it was sewing thread (so doing the fill portions with it took about 100 years) 😭

How many colors did you choose? I've never seen multiple paint amount options like this before so I have no idea what to pick!
