When I did the Rocket the faces of the Astronauts were a real pain to backstitch! They either looked like idiots or monsters! :shock:
I've just had a sneaky peek at your website - your work is lovely! The Cut-Thru' Rocket is wonderful. Very intricate. And I just LOVE some of the home furnishings things you have made - you are very talented.

I have got over the no overlap thing by photocopying the chart and sticking it together with double sided tape to make one big one.

Yes I stuck it together too but with the larger charts it does make for a HUGE bit of paper to tussle with! ( :oops: bad grammar!) :lol:

Another way around the no overlap is to photocopy an overlap page. An example is say you have 2 pages that sit side by side - A & B. I would photocopy page A, page B and a page where you have 1/2 A and 1/2 B.

Now that's a clever idea!

Many may think HAED are difficult, but I wouldn't attempt one of these, although I think they are utterly fabulous. :shock:

I love the Cut Thru' series, I bet its loads of fun stitching it, and seeing the small little cheerful things that you discover on the way. They always reminds me of "Where's Waldo?" dunno why :lol:

What you have done so far is brilliant :applesauce: can't wait for next update!

Here's my latest update. It's becoming really interesting now, the laundry basket was great fun to do - lots of bright colours!!

I'm guessing I am about half way there.

It's great to see this grow with all the detail and colour -- :applesauce: :applesauce: for getting it done so quickly, all that backstitch would drive me absolutely insane (but boy, is it effective!)

I can see what you mean about this being fiddly to do - so much detail and back stitch and tiny little bits on it, but you're doing an awesome job! It's looking great and I bet your aunt will be well pleased with it!

So many colors, so much changing threads but look at how wonderful it is coming out. This is great.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
