Stitching a design is just like being in love, building a relationship. It takes time, yes, but because we love it, the passage of time is not painful.

Once I started using scroll frames where both hands were free, I noticed an improvement in speed. You are now able to insert the needle from the top with one hand while using the other hand to push it up from the bottom. It also frees your hands up to be able use both hands with the sewing method. After a while you will use all of the various methods depending on the particular circumstances that you are stitching.

Just enjoy the process.
One thing I really like about the slow pace is its a journey, each project is different but that's part of the fun.
Considering the materials are more expensive than some other hobbies, the slow pace keeps you occupied for longer and balances out the cost.
I agree about evenweave, but it looks great in the end.

I have also problem with that. I know to myself that i can finish that piece on a certain period of time but took me so long to finish. maybe because of the mindset that you have a long list of patterns to do. So, I make sure to do one project at a time and dont think my other kits to finish and focus first in what i am stitching.

for larger pieces I use a stand to hold my hoop. For smaller pieces, I take pictures with my phone every couple of days so that I can see my progress. It sort of encourages me.

I'm personally terrified to work with evenweave! It just looks so tiny and there's no one around here that works with it that I know to ask advice from.

evenweave is wonderful to work on, it's so soft and I love the look of 1 over 1 when doing faces, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.  Details Reply Post time 2012-10-25 16:13

I have similar experience with yours. My first thought with linen was "where are the holes ?!" However, you just need to put your needle through the 'over' thread, start a few rows of practise crosse  Details Reply Post time 2012-10-10 11:50

I use magnifier and avery bright light.  I also use a hand he'd hoop.   The larger the count fabric the faster I can go.  Just enjoy!  For me it is my meditation.

I think taking pics will get you really motivated, but, oh girl, don't stress yourself over something like this... Just enjoy and do your best. The satisfaction of having a neat piece of your own work is priceless!
