I've yet to try this stitch. I guess the Aida and reference chart fabrics are more stable than wool cloth, so produce better placement.
I've never managed to get this stitch to look good. I think it needs a stable fabric that doesn't pull up under tension.
I like your tailoring stitch! Looks like it would be great for mending a hole!
That crow must have been walking very slowly to get such a detailed print! Very nice.
It looks tricky, Queenie! But I like the look ..... they look a bit like snowflakes!Hugs,Barbara xx
It's the weave of that woollen fabric that is causing you so much grief. Why don't you try some washaway canvas that might be easier.
