Well im the weird one here I think. I have a match box car case that is two sided, It holds the entire dmc set. When I need a color I just pull the bobbin out to use which is alright since I do an entire color on a page or half page before I switch and if I want to take it somewhere with me then I t...

And one thing I have learned from a friend recently and now cant do with out i...

Re: HAED--Combining full and tent stitch?

I havnt heard about doing it but I have heard that if you tent you should do 2x1 at least on 25 and or 28 ct. If you go to the haed bb there is bound to be someone there that has either done it or can point you in the right direction if it has already been talked about.http://heavenandearthdesigns.y...

Re: Black Aida cloth again :)

Re: 1 x 1 or 2 x 1...... or 25 ct to 18 ct

I do 2x1 on 18 ct and 1x1 on 22, 25 and 28 ct. I have tried tenting 2x1 on 28 ct and I didnt like it but that is just my preference I have lots of friends who love tenting. I have tried 2x1 on 22 ct and that is way to bulky for my liking but again you have to just try different things to see which w...
