Do you enjoy doing big stitch? Was it hard to learn?
I take a very casual approach to big stitch work 😀 a friend recommended a chenille needle so I got a few different sizes and use the one I need for the “thread” … in this case I am using crochet cotton, no idea what weight, but I have been saving it, so now it has found a use.
The first time I did it, I marked all my lines and found that tedious, so I am just enjoying free stitching, not quite straight lines, because this project was machine quilted in the ditch already, it will have plenty of stitching holding it together.
Last year I made a little Kawandi runner and when it was finished, I was very pleased to see that any uneven stitching didn’t matter at all.
