Today’s SBQ is:
Do you stitch “over one?” If so, describe your experiences. If not, have you considered it?
I have stitched over one. In fact, I think my first attempts were on a model for a needlework shop using one of the Kreinik kits. It nearly led me to a nervous breakdown and did lead me to stop stitching for that shop and take a hiatus from model stitching for a while. Needless to say, it was not a fun experience for me. I found Kreinik Silk Mori a real terror to work with over one and I don’t think I would ever make another attempt using that fiber again.
Since then, I have started M Designs’ Peace Tree over one using the Silk N’ Colors fiber recommended. While having to frog over one stitching is still a pain, this experience has been much more enjoyable than the last. 🙂
Personally, I struggle with stitching over one. I have a couple of projects started and it’s tough getting excited about finishing them…
you’re very brave LOL.. I have never stitched over one 😀
I have to agree that frogging over one is a nightmare!
I agree with you about over-one stitching – I don’t enjoy it at all, but it’s worth all the effort – I love to see the finished effect 🙂
