I know she'd have no trouble on a pillowcase weave or something similar and doing simple backstitch and stem stitch.<br /><br />Aw, I'm glad it was the Tom Lehrer piece that led you here.

It's hard to know where to put your needle in the fabric so that the stitches are the right shape and size. With counted embroidery, there's a specific hole that you put your needle into and the stitches come out perfect (or near-perfect) every time.<br /><br />Still love the Tom Lehrer blackwork. It's the one that brought me to your blog. :)CelticRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386557639577698296noreply@blogger.com
