Using one strand makes it look like the design is woven into the fabric.

Thanks so much.

Great start.

Love the covered bridges!

I do a lot of embroidery and love it! I put a thin white flannel on the back and embroider thru both layers. It gives it a a nice feel and also hides all those ends and carryover threads. I usually use two strains of floss because when I put so much work into my piece, I want to be sure that it can be seen from a distance. If I am working on a very small piece (or small area), I sometimes vary the threads, one in small areas and two for the most part. Have fun and enjoy!

I bought this pattern and it went into the "someday" drawer immediately! Yours is really nice - are you going to do all 12?

Very pretty. Will be a beautiful quilt.

I usally use 2 as well, but these lines on this one is so close two would be way too thick. I don't put anything on the back as sometimes to too hard to work through with my hands, having arthritis pretty bad in them, but I try and keep them moving. Thank you.

Thanks so much, this will be on hold for a while, I have many going right now, I'm on my last block for hocuspocusville and really need to get it done. I'm also doinf welcome to the North Pole, up on the housetop, spell bound, and s few more. Good luck with your's.

Really mom??? How many hand embroidery projects must you do at once?????? I think you should teach me how to do it so I can make the ones I have :)
Love it!!
Love you
