Quick ? here: I see the pink grid on your evenweave, will that wash out when your done? (I'm working on putting together my 1st HAED & haven't decided which 25 ct to use, so I'm looking real close at everyone elses wip's.) Thanks in advance!

Hi Diana
Yes, I hope it does, I haven't actually tried washing it out . I'm sure there are others on here who have used it though and if it didn't wash out I hope they'd have let us know!!!!
Which HAED are you going for?

Thanks, Jo.
I will eventually be doing The Breakers by R. Bansemer (WOW, it is so pretty!)

But it just got pushed off a little bit by what I'm calling "Stuart frame-up" (thread by that same name floatin' around here....don't think I parked it too well )

It's been an experience putting together THAT project. The fabric for it is unmarked, so I'll be breaking in my water soluble pen with the frame-up & what was my first WIP project (His Name is Jesus)

Well after much deliberation I have started this one again and am so glad I did before I got too far. I was doing it 2 over 1 on 25 magic guide and for blocks of colour it was fine, but just way too bulky in the confetti heavy areas. So I'm now tenting 2 over 1 on the same fabric and what a difference!!! So much faster and easier and the coverage is fine as far as I'm concerned. Page 1 and a bit of page 2 is done
.
I'll go down rather than across so we get another look at Sally!

Glad it worked out for you, and very brave to make the decision to start over again!

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

It's looking great Jo - I'm with you re tenting HAEDs and plan on it for all my minis and BAPs. Look forward to seeing more on this one, you'll be up to where you left it in no time!

Looks great and I couldn't agree more about it being too bulky to do 2 over 1 on 25 ct. I didn't run into confetti on my LOTR until way late in the stitching but now have black fabric to practice on (28 ct) and if I can stitch on it and grid it, It will be tent stitched all the way. Yours is going to be beautiful! And a lot more fun stitching.

I love it! Great stitching and lovely progress!!

[Rose]

It is better to change out, and be satisfied then to force yourself on and have it end as a UFO. Your restart looks great!!!!!!

[AriannaF]

Great job on your re-start, so glad you are a lot happier now!

[claire81]

wow its maaahooosive and its going to be such an achievement when finished so keep going our doing brilliantly!! loving the updates

[Squirrel]

Great to see this one again and I am sure it will go really fast not only because of the tent stitching but also you are much happier with it and therefore more relaxed.

Great update and looking forward to seeing Sally again.

[Parksfarm]

Great job Jo, it's looks awesome!

[Lessa54]

Great re-start and as everyone has said, better to find out now than later

[tiffstitch]

Excellent restart, and congrats it's going so well!!
