First of all I'm new to this forum by searching for help in starting on a Mill Hill cross stitch/beading kit. It's been a very long time since I cross-stitched and I've never mixed in beading in a project. I was so taken by this kit that I wanted to start again. WELLLL...I have sorted, set-up my work area and now....just where do I begin? Do I start in the center of the project? Do I do all the floss stitches first? Do I start at the bottom and work up?

Gridding can definitely be a double-edged sword. If you get everything gridded correctly, it can be a HUGE help on the project.

A row or block of stitches is easier to keep neat but a lot of the design is usually something like - 5 straight, over and up two, back one, up three, - which is not so easy to keep neat at the back. I read that the back should look the same as the front but can't seem to accomplish this!

I usually start with the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jean67) http://pamkellogg.yuku.com/topic/1179 Sun, 13 Apr 2003 09:00:20 GMT http://pamkellogg.yuku.com/topic/1180/t/Bookmarks.html I'm stitching some yellow ribbons (Pam's donated design - THANK YOU PAM!!!!) to send to the troops. Does anyone here use a backing on their bookmarks once they are stitched? A friend bought one off ebay as a gift for another friend and it looked like there was some kind of fabric (?) attached to the back covering the backside of the stitching.

We have 4 cats here at Kitty & Me!

When my stitching is completed, and after
washing, I take a little bit of blue tape (painters tape) and just press it lightly
where the cat hairs are obvious. It's just enough to pull the hairs off without
pulling at the stitching or the fabric.

Hope this suggestion helps!
