I just found your blog a few days and and it's great information! <BR/>I'm just getting back into cross stitching and I had a quick question for you! What is hte best way to get a good flat stitch when you are doing two 1/2 stitches in the same square? My 1/2 stitch squares always look puffier than the rest!! Any suggestions would be great!<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>TriciaShaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711066526529856154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190079716495280282.post-37414651342770410652009-03-23T00:47:00.000-05:002009-03-23T00:47:00.000-05:00Hope you are finally feeling better.

I'm sorry you were so sick, but here's to a stronger immune system for the rest of the year!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great info, especially on using the "best that you can afford", because we don't always have to use the most expensive fabric or thread. Another tip is to combine DMC cotton with a more expensive thread (one or two colors only) to give it some texture.drea_dearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068102855640128153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190079716495280282.post-88786280220293040542009-03-06T05:37:00.000-06:002009-03-06T05:37:00.000-06:00sorry to hear that you have been unwell (hugs) .....sorry to hear that you have been unwell (hugs) .......glad you are back on your feet again! <BR/>luv from olga.

I didn't even know what Hardanger was; it was just there and looked nice, and would be "smaller" than previous packs of squares that I had bought which were 14 count Aida. <BR/><BR/>So, I finished stitching the design for my first biscornu on it. As I was backstitching the outline, I noticed how rectangular it was *cries*. To this day, I STILL don't know if that is a standard characteristic of Hardanger or simply faulty fabric. <BR/><BR/>As for the Biscornu, I "Made it work", and that somewhat puckery, rather understuffed Biscornu is still my treasure. Can't wait to make my second one! I think I'll use some linen, however. ;)<BR/><BR/>What a great post, lots of info for the ignorant such as myself! Most xstitch bloggers on the net are old hands with lots of experience, and it shows by their knowing use of inside jargon. What a great blog for us greenies!<BR/><BR/>P.S. So sorry to hear you had that awful sickness; my family in OK had it, too. <BR/>Quite awful; makes you fall asleep at somewhat random times quite instantaneously!Berithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270446862298837353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190079716495280282.post-25421292005390177172009-03-05T22:42:00.000-06:002009-03-05T22:42:00.000-06:00Nice words of wisdom!
