Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Just FYI if it is not possible for me to ship to the US or Canada, I am okay with that.

Please count me in. This is my first exchange and I am very excited. I've been stitching for a while but I have never participated in an exchange or even joined a forum. I am from Canada and would like to exchange with another country please.

oh, and I have something very yummy for my guest!!!

I would love to take part but as I haven't made one before I want to see how it turns out before I sign up! I'll make a start on it this week

That's what I'm doing, never made one either! So if I don't get it done by November 15, then I won't take part. I think that's the rule for everyone. Good luck with yours!

I have fineshed my first biscornu, I am quiet pleased with it if I say so myself.

I haave started, one half is done and the other is half-done. But don't have much stitching time these days.

I'm getting there too! Mostly done stitching the halves, just deciding on backing fabric. I was thinking of using the iron-on fabric I'd used before, has anyone used that with biscornus? I was thinking it might be quicker in case time gets away from me.

I have never used backing fabric for biscornus.

Backing fabric for biscornus looks really nice. Here are some examples:

and from here

Neither have I.

wow! they look amazing

Didn't use it on mine, although some sites say to use it to give more interest to your stitching.

They are lovely! Never thought of it, I always use two stitched pieces. But this might be an interesting new experiment
