Today's SBQ was suggested by Nancy and is:
What tips would you give to a new stitcher to help her stitch faster and neater while still keeping it enjoyable?
Well, one thing I would say is neatness makes it all the better! I did *try* teaching my neighbor, and well, she starting putting her stitches any which way.. and it just made me want to claw my eyes out! I did give her the pep talk, but nope, so I threw in the towel.
As far as stitching faster, it will come in time. Practice, practice, and more practice!
I would say never stitch with dirty hands,keep em clean.
ReplyDeleteI can commiserate with teaching a friend/neighbor such a precise stitching skill...some don't realize it's not a race to see who finished first...what happened to pride and pure enjoyment of the stitch itself? At least you tried to share your love!
