Re: NEW START: HAED Adobe White **NEW PIC ADDED**

Just a thought for your girls who are getting sore backs, you shouldn't, if possible try raising your stand a bit higher than normal, you should be sitting pretty straight and not hunched over your stitching, it should feel relaxed and so no pain?

I have never had a problem with getting my stitching dirty from my hands but I do get what you mean, just stitched the way you said and realised it doesn't happen to me as I stitch from the bottom right up so my top left hand is always on the fabric not the stitching, but I am sure your work will be...

Stick with it, I am right handed and that hand is underneath my stitching, it does feel a bit off at first so stick with it for a few more days, it does become second nature, you don't even think about it your hands will automatically go where they need to be, I couldn't stitch one handed now if I t...
