Ok I need everyone to take a look and give me your opinion. Do you think the letter B is too small for the square? Does it look lost? Should I put a border around it?
I am not sure if I like doing this on this fabric. I have decided that the fabric is evenweave and I did it over 1 square. Should I have done it over 2?? I have never done anything over 2 before. I have stitched on 18 count aida many times but the holes are smaller on this and very hard to stitch.
I would have done it over 2 with 4 to 6 strands of floss. Just my thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but it almost looks like either 22ct or maybe 25ct. I think the letters will be fine... maybe a border around them to make it bigger? If not a border, then maybe do it over 2 with 4 strands of floss...
ReplyDeleteHUGS!
I probably would have done it over 2 with more strands of thread.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, it looks lovely.
Think maybe over two, it needs to be bigger. As to the strands, maybe three.
ReplyDeleteI would do as others have suggested, stitch over 2 using more threads.
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with everyone else. Over 2 would be best. I wouldn't go more than 3 strand of thread though.
ReplyDeleteI do think though that it looks lovely and if you just put a border around it, it could look quite nice. That would save you frogging the threads and starting again.
I agree that the letter should be bigger but perhaps instead of a border you could add a picture or two of baby things that start with the letter or as my daughter suggested a baby animal for each letter.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, but I do think stitching it over two, especially on one of these afghans, is a good idea. You can always add things to it, but are you doing anymore letters on it? If not, it would make it easier to just add. INHO
