Thanks for the explanation.
once i took the leap, the universe gave me floss at very cheap price. so i guess i did the right thing. a lot of comments. i should have replied and got in trouble lol.
how we perform our stitches. too much work for me!! too many rules. i run into people that give me floss, too many sales and my local thrift store... i have gotten floss as low as 5 cents there. So..
in the same direction. But stitching does go faster for me. But yes, it is half stitch but the cross stitch police want us to call it either continental or petite point. And they want us to know....
told me to use aida which makes it easier to see or to not stitch as much. so my compromise was tenting on counts of aida 14. My eyes have thanked me. If you see my pic, the stitches all have to lay..
There are women that can tent using 2 strands but you would need to work on 18 count and higher. I use 4-6 because I use 14 and 16 count aida. It is easier on my eyes and I wear contacts. my doctor...

I worry more about coverage than anything. When stitching, you should not see any of your fabric. So coverage is key when tenting. Continental stitch defines how a person should stitch so that...
When I started doing tenting, I also got confused because I wanted to know if I was doing it correctly. The cross stitch police, the ones that insist the rules be followed, will call it continental...
