Santa's looking great and coming along so quickly too. Your stitching is so neat, especially with the black fabric :applesauce:

:applesauce: :applesauce: Santa's looking good.I found stitching with 3 strands on 14ct aida more difficult, but the coverage was better. I do prefer two strands though by choice.

He looks so striking, and the better coverage with the white on black is definitely worth the hassle of stitching with 3 strands!

Re: SANTA STOCKING -NEW UPDATE 7/11/09

Post by pinkywinky »

Most of Santa is now finished and I am on to the stars around him. I decided to bead around some of the stars that should just have had a darker tangerine floss. I am planning to replace all of the french knots and confetti stiches with beads as I really don't fancy trying french knots with blending filament! Think the beading makes it a bit more special as well. Here is the latest progress.

The tacking stitches around the outline are to get the shape of the stocking rather than cutting from a template. I did it at this stage to give me an acurate count when placing the stars.
I can see no reasons - 'cause there are no reasons.
