I am starting my BIG project within a few days. At least for me it's a big one. It's the bucilla 103 inch tablecloth. I'm changing the colors to match my Grandma's china colors.
You guys talked me out of using the metalic thread which was a good thing TY. I am more comfortable using 2 strands of thread but should I use 3 for looks? (DMC regular thread). Seems like it does not lay as nicely.
Also IF I use 2 I have been cutting a long piece off the cardboard bobbin then seperating one thread and threading it through and knotting it. This is easier for me to thread and it does not fall off the needle. Any reasons I should NOT do that?
Lastly does anyone have multiple threaded needles and just switch back and forth? Seems it's easier this way to me.
Because I have taught myself I hope I'm not being to insecure, I just don't want to realize halfway through I should have done something differently.
Oops one more question. Anyone use the free standing hoops? I see them at the stores but wonder how well they work in reality since they are pricey. TY so much,
Dana
