It's a tiny bit harder to count the squares than aida but if you stitch close together areas then you'll be fine. It's not a good idea to leap about the chart too much as it's easy to lose count!<br /><br />Fractionals are so much easier and the finished article is much nicer too.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your first project.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256115963396359258.post-88620149093695398002011-02-26T17:32:40.784+00:002011-02-26T17:32:40.784+00:00Thanks Wendy, I'm getting more and more tempte...Thanks Wendy, I'm getting more and more tempted to start. Got some evenweave from my sister today so have the fabric now.

I am sure Martina would have answered most of your questions.<br /><br />What to start with comes down to what your like best!<br /><br />Look forward to seeing you make a startwendy111https://www.blogger.com/profile/00560873792541779557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256115963396359258.post-10301907461376343252011-02-26T07:59:40.991+00:002011-02-26T07:59:40.991+00:00Bec I have been looking at all the amazing WIPs on...Bec I have been looking at all the amazing WIPs on that blog. I also e-mailed Martina directly and she gave me some great advice. Going to try and stitch one of the freebies on evenweave and see how I get on.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639557397414095612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256115963396359258.post-50123877945134786902011-02-26T03:34:51.943+00:002011-02-26T03:34:51.943+00:00Have you seen this blog?

My main predicament is that she says they won't work on aida and I have never managed to stitch on linen or evenweave. I've downloaded the freebie tiny rose garden and I'm going to give that a try on evenweave and see how I get on.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639557397414095612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256115963396359258.post-35520348177633315952011-02-23T16:01:10.762+00:002011-02-23T16:01:10.762+00:00http://chatelainedesigns.yuku.com/bchatelainedesig...http://chatelainedesigns.yuku.com/bchatelainedesigns<br /><br />This is the forum for stitchers of these gorgeous designs. There is also a new blog just started, you can find it via my profile.<br /><br />I haven't started one yet but they are on my 11 in '11. I'm planning on starting with one of the freebies as pennies are short this year! <br />They are mainly cross stitch with some speciality stitches and threads. Some designs work out expensive if you're paying UK prices for threads my American friends are up inarms about 40c a skein never mind 85p :-)<br /><br />You can buy some at Sewandso or via the Chatelaine online supplier by PDF (not sure how that works!)<br /><br />Happy Stitching!Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.com
