Sorry, no ideas for the fabric as I've never tackled something that huge before. <BR/>You would think they could think of a better way of attaching threads than that. Will so enjoy watching this piece develop - will cheer you on. :0)Karanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043864033854373523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530441404699297083.post-75406856984507191582009-01-05T07:12:00.000+00:002009-01-05T07:12:00.000+00:00Hi Angela,wow some piece of fabric and a huge proj...Hi Angela,<BR/><BR/>wow some piece of fabric and a huge project but I am sure you'll find that as it grows you'll love it.<BR/>The Beatice Potter SAL is big too that I am doing and it is costing me a bomb as the first fabric I bought was too yellow and now the floss I have bought is too dark!<BR/>So last evening I had to do a lot of frogging and on the 32c it was hard!<BR/>But I will soldier on and it will be beautiful!!<BR/>Chris x<BR/>Thank you for your comments on my blog about the book that I have now finished reading, how sad for you to lose your first husband.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332613086771922320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530441404699297083.post-66200008408235677522009-01-04T12:01:00.000+00:002009-01-04T12:01:00.000+00:00Good luck with your big project!I tend to stitch i...Good luck with your big project!<BR/><BR/>I tend to stitch in hand, although I have use Q-snaps too, which I prefer to a hoop.<BR/><BR/>Whoever put tape on silks should be shot!glamlawlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324934873858919054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530441404699297083.post-23151812386610848002009-01-04T00:47:00.000+00:002009-01-04T00:47:00.000+00:00Wow!!!Can I say I'm glad you're doing this and not...Wow!!!<BR/><BR/>Can I say I'm glad you're doing this and not me.

I stitch in hand so I have no advice other than what I've seen others do!<BR/><BR/>As for those threads...you could use a system similar to mine; see my New Years' Day post...just write the symbol instead of the DMC number on the bag. I find it's much easier and keeps the threads clean~especially on long-term projects like that!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations, you have made a great new start!Daffycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014712375064249301noreply@blogger.com
