actually thats exactly what I did in the end. new fabric is on the way, smaller size to, 18 count instead of 14 count. and I got a new large scroll frame for it.

I have a massive frogging session to look forward to, about 2000 stitches need to go. :anotherfrog: :anotherfrog: :anotherfrog: :anotherfrog: :anotherfrog: I picked up my sunset angel and started stitching, but the stitches that have been there awhile (awhile as in 3 years or so) were worn and a bit...
