havanaholly 11,801 Posted May 3, 2021 You appear to be off to an excellent start! Just remember to check frequently that all the stitches go the same way. Quote Link to comment

Shareb 1,341 Posted May 4, 2021 Good for you trying this! I have to say, these are the sort of crafts that I'm happy to pay someone to do because I know I can't!!! Quote Link to comment
fov 2,176 Posted May 4, 2021 @Spooky SquirrelOff to a good start! Is that embroidery floss or wool? It looks like wool, which might be too bulky for this, but maybe I'm mis-seeing it. I use one strand of DMC floss. It also looks like you're doing full cross stitches. I like to do full crosses but on higher count fabrics they can be too bulky. In that case you can just do half a cross. Quote Link to comment
