He is absolutely stunning!!!

Like most here, I make a working copy of my chart. I also enlarge the copies so that I don't go cross-eyed trying to read the tiny symbols. But highlighting doesn't work for my brain. I use a red sharpie marker to cross off the stitches I've completed. They are done and I get a kick out of marking t...

I've used Delicas on 28ct fabric. So I think it would work, but I'm not 100% sure about over 1.

It took me some time to get comfortable with railroading. But I wasn't happy with the way my stitches were laying when stitching over 2 over 1. Now I find myself railroading automatically on other WIPs. I think of it like learning any new skill. Once you get the hang of it, it feels less awkward and...

I've ordered twice from them since the beginning of the year. Both orders arrived in about 2 weeks, so I took the plunge and signed up for their FOTM club a few days ago. It's worrying to hear so many have had problems with them.

Beautiful colors!

I've tried making stitch goals last year, but it took the enjoyment out of stitching. Now I just relax and go where the needle takes me. No fuss, no worries, no frustration at not meeting the goal.
