The first thing I do is a test piece checking( about 8 inches square) to make sure everything is right .. tension, needle etc.
|
I do a locking stitch when I start and when I stop.
|
I enjoy a nice large glass of cold white wine, bring up my bobbin thread, do a couple of tiny stitches to "lock" and go for it :mrgreen:
|
All of the above!
peace :D |

How do you bring up your bobbin thread? How do you leave th ends and knot and bury them? Is lock stitch the same as back-stitching over a couple of stitches?
I like the wine idea! I thought a class would be fun for tips and suggestions, sounds like maybe for commiseration too! lol! Thanks everyone. |

I have a tendency to not breathe - holding my breath. So, I remind myself to take a breath, wipe off my sweaty hands and get started.

All these are great answers! As the famous slogan goes: JUST DO IT!!!!

This is a great thread. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. At least I'm not alone with the pray idea. I always pull up my bobbin thread and stitch a couple stitches in the same place.
