Maybe a useful tip.

I have been finishing off other people's UFOs for a few months. I have got back to my piece; a waterlily, for which I produced the pattern with Pattern Maker. So the pattern is on 12 sheets of paper. When I stopped, there was a large chunk of stitching in DMC 712, which went over two pages. So I finished the edge of one page irregularly, so as to hide any edge. I have come to this part. Now I know I am using exactly the same skein of 712, so there is absolutely no differenc in the floss. However, I can quite clearly see the difference between the two sets of stitching.

I am not worried. The new part is cleaner, and shinier. So when it has been around a little, it will look exactly the same as the bit I did months ago. It could be nearly a year. So if this happens to anyone, dont worry. It will all come right in the end. Jim.

Are you sure it came off the skein in the same direction as previously

- if you can figure what I mean. The nap could be different.

I use loop starts, so I cannot see how I can use the floss in a different direction. Jim.

A skein of floss is a double helix. Identical on both ends. There is no nap, although that's a hard myth to overcome.

Thanks Diane:

It's amazing how many people will swear to that. I've never seen the difference, and I've been stitching 35 years. When I can I like to do loop start like Jim, but there are times when it's impossible or difficult to do.

Hello Modders

Is there any way to implement the shaking that airplanes suffer when the airbrakes come out in the game to simulate a turbulence when we are getting close to the refueling tanker?

Thanks in advance Skuda
