I am currently working on a challenging cross-stitch right now, but when I'm ready to tackle this I will definitely post a pic.Lilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616812471011082924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038231281567733325.post-39146199053791858822012-08-22T17:22:17.338-07:002012-08-22T17:22:17.338-07:00I did this on 18 ct.

Aida with two threads of each color, that way each square was really entirely filled with none of the canvas showing through.<br /><br />One thing I found really helpful was to definitely do every row left to right, and to weave in the ends toward the left side (going by the front). When you weave them in leave enough tail that you can grab it and pull it tight, as it's really easy to loosen the last stitch of the square above when you're stitching the next row. Always going left to right helps with that too.<br /><br />I would always get out 15-20 colors, set them up in order next to me, and then put them aside (but not back in the box) when I was through with each. This made the project seem to go a little faster and helped me keep trade of where I was at. If you don't have all your color in numerical order (I have them by color but with each box in numerical order) then the color descriptions list on the DMC website comes in super helpful. It's at the bottom of this page: http://dmc-usa.com/Conversion-Charts.aspx<br /><br />And definitely write down the last color stitched when you're putting it away for a bit! It's not really *that* hard to figure out where you were, but much easier just to keep it written down. If you're leaving out the colors I suggest leaving out then I'd remove them from your storage containers before beginning. It's easy to get in the mode of "Look at the list, find the number, stitch the color..." and forget that list of which not to stitch (though probably many people don't mind having a not-perfect square).<br /><br />Good luck! I'd love to see a picture if you make one!meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284096613104017417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038231281567733325.post-89035024188418483602012-08-22T16:52:53.248-07:002012-08-22T16:52:53.248-07:00I would really love to do this as I think it is a ...I would really love to do this as I think it is a simple, but awesome project. Any pointers? What kind/size canvas did you use and how many threads per color do you recommend?
