  Tip of the Month

HONies TOP TEN TIPS :
1. Stitch the white first.
2. Wash hands before            stitching, do not apply 
   hand cream.
3. Use stretcher bars.
4. Find missed stitches by 
   holding up to the light.
5. Get up to stretch and
   walk  around every half
   hour.
6. Travel with a headlamp
   for better lighting and        extra  needles in your coin    purse.
7. Let your needle dangle
   periodically to maintain the
   proper twist of the fiber .
8. Roll canvas, do not fold.
9. Save fiber tags with piece    of  yarn attached.
10. DON'T sweat the small
    stuff, a missed stitch or
    mistake adds uniqueness.

CTCT-20170901_090835  This background stitch (used in pillow pictured below) is three rows of horizontal, diagonal long stitches, over 2 rows, followed by a fourth line that's over 3 rows. It works up quickly and gives a textured, corduroy like, effect.
