I will never touch the stuff again!
I'm glad to know it's not only me that HATES to work with the filament. I thought that, being with a couple of strands of floss, it would be more protected. I don't know. I am working on a counted cross stitch fairy and her wings are mostly blending filament and it's driving me bonkers. BONKERS, I tell ya!
