Thank you! I am really glad you found th...Hi Olisa! Thank you! I am really glad you found the blog too! I love this fabric - it is 100% cotton and it is "quilter's weight". I usually find it in the quilting section of the fabric store. I buy mine at Joanns Fabric and Crafts. It took me a while to figure out what weave I like stitching on, this is a medium weave. If the weave is too tight, it is hard to pull the needle/thread through and isn't fun to stitch on. If it is too loose, the stitches don't lay smooth and nice and even. (I even take my needle with me when I am buying fabric to see how easy it is to push through the fabric).Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038128784679009759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-74046917342803249502011-01-07T21:01:54.842-08:002011-01-07T21:01:54.842-08:00Hello again!

I really enjoyed showing this stitch :)<br />John'aLee - Thank you! All the pictures in the 100 Stitches book are in black and white, I had always overlooked this stitch - when I realized what it would look like in color, I couldn't wait to share it. <br />Leah - Thank you - I hope you do try it! If you can do the chain stitch you can do this stitch.<br />Malori - Thank you!<br />Stefani - You will have to try this one!<br />Annie - Thanks! I thought the pink and red would be perfect for valentines day. When I was practicing this stitch I used a lot of different colors and they all looked really good!<br />Farah - Thanks! I thought it was confusing too until I tried it - the threads just line themselves up when you pull them through the fabric!<br />Libby - Thank you!!! I remember how beautiful those pillowcases turned out - I am amazed that it was your first embroidery project. I loved how creative you were with the patterns!<br />Hillbilly Handiworks - Thank you - I am really enjoying posting these 100 stitches stitches - I have a lot to learn, I am not even halfway through the 100 stitches book!<br />Оля - спасибо большое!<br />Mom W - Heehee!
