Im finding it huge Need to get something better than balancing a hoop on my legs and having one hand behind and one infront and balancing chart in all funny ways.

Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
what an amazing project. I do admire all you ladies taking on HAED's. Such a challenge but so worth the effort. looking forward to more of this one!
Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
for a good start on a lovely design.
Yes, it's usually over 1 and 25 count is pretty small, though quite a few stitch on 28 ct fabric. Are you using 1 or 2 strands of thread? I am doing one HAED that is 2 over 1 and I find it a bit bulky, but it was the only way to get good coverage for the black stitches and there is a lot of black. I am doing several 1 over 1 and find it much easier stitching and still pretty good coverage. Are you doing regular x's or tent/half crosses? All that can make a difference. Be warned. This can get very addicting.

Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
Looks like it will have some lovely subtle shading!
There's no reason why you shouldn't stitch it "over two", but it will be twice as high and wide. Most heads are stitched "over one", or on a fine aida, but as i said you can stitch it any way you like !

Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
Great start, and congrats on starting a HAED!!!
Did you get to do any test stitches on different counts of fabric? Even though the 25 ct fabric is recommended, HAEDs are stitched on all different counts of fabric. Since it takes a long time to stitch a HAED, stitching on a comfortable fabric count can make a big difference.
Since you've just started the design, it wouldn't be too late to switch to a different fabric count if you want.
For me, I prefer 2x1 on 20 ct fabric, but I do have a HAED that I'm stitching 1x1 on 28 ct fabric.

Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
I hope so too. I found a hogwarts crest which i am going to do now for my cousins birthday as she is HP DAFT!! So as soon as that is done I will get this one back out. I would really like to hang it in my room so there is motivation there to get back to it

Re: HAED-Mini Awakening Spring Fairy
Yes unless you doubled the material size to take into account doing it over 2 which is what I see in your photo then you should be doing it over 1 and your material will not be big enough, it would be awful to do so much and run out of room. You do get used to working over 1 after a relatively short while I find, good luck with it when you pick it back up.
