Ай бұрын

Happy 70th!!!

thank you for that Amazon link, it was quite helpful. In regards to those spots from your hoop. It can be hard to tell but I believe that's just the displacement of threads and happens with some linens/some hoops. Just use your needle to straighten them back in 90 degree lines. This can happen on any hoop you use no matter what anyone tells you. It won't happen on areas you've stitched because your stitches reinforce the rigidity of the linen fabric. The stitches may appear smooshed once you move the hoop but they'll fluff back out. Fibers are malleable and subject to gravity and humidity. If I have a piece that has defined hoop marks, I just hang it from a trousers hanger in the bathroom so the steam from nearby shower can help puff the stitches back out. And gravity from hanging it helps as well....and eventually, I'll actually iron it, lol. my exception to this is satin stitching, those I won't put along hoop lines. I pull out my Q snap which I too don't prefer as I have "short" hands as well:) I have noticed that in hand stitchers seem to prefer a nurge hoop while I can never get a nice taught fit on a nurge except in two corners near the screw. I am thinking it's because in hand stitchers seem to have such good control of their tension where I do not ( I will pull and yank and not even notice it haha) and nurge hoops have some flex. That was just my boring theory. thanks for sharing and I enjoyed your content.

Hi there! What are you stitching this evening? My planner cover has thin batting in the middle, up should make one!

I am definitely a project stitcher. I look forward to getting them finished, so I can display them in my home. I can't help you with the hoop situation, because I stitch in hand with the sewing method. I am working on a Scarlett House chart while watching your video.

Project stitching goes along with my personality, I'm guessing. I like to get things finished and can be annoying to my husband if projects drag on LOL! Which Scarlett House are you working on??

I use a Hardwicke hoop that is very smooth and doesn't appear to have varnish on it and I don't have the shiny marks like you showed so I too wonder if the varnish is the problem? Many places sell a narrow twill tape that you wrap around hoops so I would suggest trying that.

Thank you, that’s exactly what I did to my hoops with the varnish and it seems to have done the trick!

Lila, I love it. That’s my mother’s name. You don’t hear it very often ❤ I love The Chart
