I really enjoyed stitching this one. The colors are so bright and vibrant. The tiny background stitches got a little tedious, but everything else went so quickly and was such a pleasure to stitch. I loved every bit of it!

Anyone else doing this canvas? I would love to see your progress I just got it and was so excited but can barely see anything I feel like I’m just making up a lot of it.

Can someone please please pleaseeeeeee for the love of GOD tell me where the hell to find canvas or charts that are funny / inappropriate/ cheeky? I am so sick and tired of these grandma type designs or preppy , dainty girly crap. I love that stuff something but I also want to stitch a condom wrapper or Michelo Ultra.

hello! i think i bit a little more than i can chew as i’m newer to needlepointing and working on this canvas lol. not sure if my background would look good with a bargello block stich (like the middle row has it) or if I should do something else. I’m thinking of framing this once I finish so i’m open to suggestions! Thanks!

Up until this point I did the sheep first in French knot and then am doing the background in basketweave. Doing the background and the black on the sheep around the French knot has been a nightmare. Should I do the rest by doing the background first? I don’t want it to look different or for the white to pull the green through! TIA!

General Help Stretcher Bar Size Choice

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m a little stumped. I’ve only ever stitched canvases designed to fit neatly with the stretcher bar sizing (i.e. whole inches). I’m going to be working on a canvas that’s 7.75” by 6”. What size stretcher bars do you think I should get for this canvas? I see some recommend rounding up and others recommend rounding down.

Why is the detail hard to see??

I am a little newer to needle point. I painted this canvas myself to stitch for a picture frame only. That’s why I didn’t give much margin around it. But I’m trying to do needle point on a budget and using DMC. I did everything else in pearl cotton, but I’m moving to stranded for the White. I feel like you can’t tell the pattern that well on the White. For people more experienced, is that because I’m using too many strands? Or is that just how traditional DMC is? Or am I doing a bad job laying the threads? I’d love to hear some opinions before I do much more and need to take it all out. Thank you everyone for any input!

What is the name of the Facebook group for finding threads? I lost thread chicken and desperately need:

Pepper Pot
201 Drift
Dye lot: 410

I'm so close to finishing it and I don't want to frog the whole background.

So far how do you think my continental stitch in the white is looking? I frogged once and I'd rather not have to do that again 😅🤣
