I originally started with a stamped, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.<BR/>My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???<BR/>If you would answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?<BR/>I would appreciate any advice, thanks!Craft-i-leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795912257572903966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16975528.post-80797803293217406952009-03-02T13:47:00.000-05:002009-03-02T13:47:00.000-05:00I have found this book to be essential for finishi...I have found <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Simplicitys-Simply-Best-Home-Decorating/dp/0918178398/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236019513&sr=1-4" REL="nofollow">this book</A> to be essential for finishing.

I'm not one for Halloween stitching, so if you want them, I'm happy to send them to you. E-mail me at andreaholme at clearwire dot net.<BR/><BR/>Also, check about.com's sewing section to see if they have instructions on creating a ruffled edge. That's my first stop for new techniques, and their message board members are very helpful. If they don't know how, they'll direct you to the right place.<BR/><BR/>Boy, I'm a problem solver today!
