I made a lazy decision today!

So the craft I'm working on is pretty big. It's on black cloth too. For some reason the holes in the cloth are smaller than I'm used to, and my uber thin needle is having a hard time going through. Since it's black, the holes are hard to see, and I was using 3 threads instead of 2 which made the situation even worse. It was kind of not fun to work on and I wasted several hours that I could have cross stitched during because I didn't want to pick the darn thing up!

So I made a decision, after using my lightest color I decided I was going to go with 2 threads. It'll make tiny black spots I know but it won't look that bad, I think it'll look a little cool. I'll probably make less mistakes and I'll want to work on it even more.

I had to rip out the whole 10 lines (Ugh only 10 lines) I'd already done but I'm okay with that.

Hooray for progress?

try placing a white towel or pillowcase underneath your fabric while you stitch, the white will help you see the holes better or put a lamp on the floor, the light will shine through the holes showing you where to stitch

Oh that's a good idea! Thanks! <3
