Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I'm so sorry you've run into trouble and headaches with this project! I too read Abi's wonderful, encouraging response to you and I'm impressed by you that you're going to give it another try. On the other hand, if you don't like it, well, like others have said, there are millions of possibilities out there and you've got some wonderful projects already going. Although I haven't tried a HAED, I tried something similar and did not enjoy it. It was so liberating to admit it. So now, I just sit back and enjoy watching HAED projects like yours come to life. Stitching is a wonderful world of many beautiful possibilities.

Glad you're not throwing in the towel! Learned new stitches can be so hard!!

Abi has always been great helping with special stitches. She was on another forum I belong to and left a while ago. I was sad to see her leave because she always had beautiful projects. If I ever get time, I guess I'll have to sign up for her group.

Great start on this, looking forward to more updates. Love the picture of your cat too!

You're start looks really nice, but I'm sorry you're having such trouble with the linen. I too wish I lived closer to members sometimes. Just keep at it and either you'll get it or decide that you really hate it. Neither option is bad, just different.
