I can't offer any suggestions, (because I work in a methodical bottom to top order, boring, I know but it's the way I stitch) but I do commend you on how quickly you are advancing on this. I have no doubt that you will get great input. Good job. :applesauce:

Thanks! I feel like Im going slow lol. You start at the bottom of your charts everytime? Thats really good idea. I feel like I should finish off the rest of the top half because my chart came in two pieces and then I have the bottom half left but I dunno lol :lol:

Oh, what a shame about the new piece! Canit be salvaged or is there so much that it's better to give it up as a bad job? Looking forward to the progress on the Indian.

That's such a lovely sampler and beautiful work you're doing - you're getting on with it so quickly too! Great to see the photos as you progress - can't wait to see it finished. I absolutely love American Indians myself.

Boring us???????? :shock: In my opinion, any progress on a project, no matter the size, is reason to celebrate! :dance: I find that when I am determined to post a pic every week to week and a half it just gives me more incentive to work on the project and get even a teeny bit done.

As for the kit, maybe you could contact Dimension about the thread.
