    I love the contrast between the neat and organized stitching and the 'messy chaos' threads. So much progress already. 🙌

    Hi! Just wondering if you'd address why with this method you keep the threads on the working side and not up and over on the completed side? I'm new to cross stitching. Thanks!

    I tried it that way but the magnets didn’t want to hold as well over the stitched areas as it’s thicker, and as I keep my left hand above the frame and my right hand below when I work, I was less likely to get tangled while stitching when the threads are going to the right

    Your stitching is amazing and so is your progress. Would you mind giving a link for the magnets you are using?

    The specific ones I’m using I got off Ebay but that seller is no longer active These might be a better match if you want clear ones www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZNQ5JYC/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams
