If legs didn't just randomly fall asleep, we wouldn't have to keep adjusting them all the time XD

Try using a layer or two of tulle as interfacing, each rotated slightly from the last -- it's ridiculously resistant to stretch at exact right angles, very light, and feels like stitching through plain cloth. If you don't like the scratchy feeling of tulle against your fingers on the back of the piece, you can always put another layer of cotton to protect the back. Good stuff!

i love your stories and i love your attitude of do it the you want and just start that project. please keep ALL of the babble and stories coming theyare great

That piece is phenomenally gorgeous! I’m working on my own epic beast of a project. It’s a cross approximately 36” x 24” on 28 ct evenweave. I’m just doing 1/2 the cross with 1 strand because it’s so small. It’s a pattern from Heaven & Earth designs called Ye Olde Craft Room and I chose the supersized max color version because I wanted lots of detail. Of course this translates into lots of confetti. There are 237 colors listed (although for any color that has less than 100 stitches in the whole project amidst a sea of confetti, I use the next closest). The pattern has 700,000 stitches. I’m 13% through and I estimate that if I work steadily on it (avg a couple of hours a day), it will take about 10 YEARS. Of course it will actually be longer, because sometimes I just want to do some black work instead (one color, repeating patterns, what a relief). And darn it if I don’t have to add satin stitch embroidery to the growing list of crafts on my someday list now!

Absolutely gorgeous! You inspire me to learn the art of embroidery and master it

Thank you! I certainly hope you give it a try!

That is a masterpiece. My mom did embroidery. I did not. I did teach myself to candlewick to put in a vintage quilt i did my hand and mach8ne. Yours is stunning

I have automotive finishing tape all round the edges of my fabric where I hold it with my hands. it keeps the fabric clean, and the tape only has slightly more tack than painter's tape. It holds down well, but peels up without leaving residue.

Omg I love this

Loved it I was waiting for an update about this work . You really did it great... ❤️

Maybe use an arrow instead of a straight line for direction in the 1 colour to distinguish it from 1 to make it less confusing

That turned out so beautiful!

Шикарный результат! Я в восторге😍 Сил и вдохновения вам для других проектов 🍀💪🏻

It’s really lovely. If you are going to frame it you could always get a mount cut for it which would cover the corners. Another possibility is to use a little bit of washing soda, which is awesome for removing grease from garments (& off kitchen cabinets too, LOL. It’s what ‘sugar soap’ is for degreasing prior to painting). Oxy powder, like Vanish might do it, too.

Magnificent!

It’s probably different for a stained glass style but I start back to front.

That is STUNNING! And after eight months of work, you should sell it to some really rich person for $50,000 (ok, not really). What's sad, though, is that like the work of any great artist, it appreciates more hundred of years after the artist has lived. But it is stunning! ❣

that is so cool i want to be as good as u some day

It's a 15x15 inch square on the inside, and I am so excited that you're going to give this piece a go! (And yep, the next piece I'm doing will likely be around 3 times the size of this one. Yikes!)

Is it long and short stitch embroidery?

Why did you hair dry it?

@gettheetothestitchery

I use a heat erasable pen to draw patterns, so when I'm finished, I hair dry it to remove the marks!

Steve, and those that can’t do, complain about those who can do. Strange and unnecessary comment. Bet the women in your life wish they could get away from you. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and you could have left your comment at that.
