1. If I were to start again, which I am not going to do, I would use 28 count instead of 32 count; this would allow me to use 2 threads for most of the specialty stitches. I have found that with 32 count I am getting a much better look with one thread. I would also chose a fabric color other than white. 2. Because I use a hoop most of the time (can’t keep the stitches nice and even, otherwise) I will be going back at the end and adding my beads. I haven’t chosen them yet, but am leaning toward a pale blue and light lavender. |
