This piece should be stitched on a high count fabric “over two” due to the number of fractional stitches. If you’ve not yet tried stitching on high count evenweaves, don’t be intimidated! Remember, arguing for your limitations only makes them yours! I believe in you, and I know you can do this.
Your Limitations Do Not Define You!
True confessions time: I stitched on aida for twenty years before I was tempted into stitching “over two.”
😁 Talk about “arguing one’s self-imposed limitations,” eh?
Anyway, I learned the technique quickly, and believe me I was hooked by the end of that project. I do still choose and use 14 count aida when I need a project to stitch up SUPER FAST. But when the need is to focus on the DETAILS there’s no replacement for a high-count fabric.
Here at the Crossing, we recommend 28 count cotton “monaco” fabric for your first foray into stitching on high count fabrics. However, you should try a 28 count lugana if you prefer the finished project to have a softer texture and drape!
Kit this up and stitch it when you need a project to remind yourself that your limitations don’t define you. Remember, you are also your own BEST CHEERLEADER!
Or try “Maybe It’s You” if you’re looking for something with some hard-core snark.
