i was so confused with counting wrong and making mistakes - i looked out for good solutions and finde "eaysy count guideline" ... its orange plastic floss, you grid your project with this floss and afterwards you pull it out (i re-use the "used" strands on other prjects). take a look in google (or any other searching site). it really works good, i also mark the grid on my copy, so it´s really comfortable to stitch.

I would like to know how long it would take to grid a project, say a HAED project?  I've got three in my stash but I am a bit intimidated by them.  I love to stitch, but hate it when I have to rip out and start over, and being a bit of a perfectionist, I have done this quite a few times.  Any idea of time line would be great.

I grid 10 by 10. If its all going to be covered in the design I mark each corner with wash out pen, and then running stitch up the lines in Sulky Sliver. Takes me about 1 week of hard work.  Post time 2015-2-21 04:02
