Still not that great at the long stitches, but I am getting better.
One thing I wonder about, if a blunter needle (what I’ve read about the Lavor needles) would make the long stitches better. As (i guess) with a blunter needle I could push the previous stitch over to ensure the new stitch rests against it. Plus (again a wild guess) I could move the loop stitches better to do the same, and maybe it would keep the needle from bouncing to which I stitch through the previous stitch. . Someday I’ll have to try that.
Also, although it was a poorly implemented this time, but if I can get the hang of it, the long stitches look much nicer staggered every other row, with two rows pretty much stitched in the same places. (that’s what I did with some of the water stitches).
Well, it gives me some things to think about.
One thing I can see I am definitely going to have to change at some point, I need a square hoop. I just don’t like the round ones.
