I use my qsnaps with a floor stand.Flirtis tip about putting a pillow under your elbow is excellent!I keep pillows under both of my elbows since I stitch with 2 hands.
Instead of just making one working copy, I make several of the same page but I blow them up pretty big.Then I cut it into quarters and attach it right to the fabric with a magnet.This way its much easier on my eyes and Im not covering up a large area of the fabric with the chart.
Good luck with your project!Its going to be beautiful:)
thanks for sharing
I grid my fabric and then start top left corner.
I grid my fabric and work from center out, old habit, usually center to rt quad then upper left quad the lower left, lower right. habit
I never grid my fabric, large or small pieces. I always start at the top right hand corner and slowly work down to the left hand lower corner. That way I avoid touching the finished stitches. This works for me.. Everyone is different, you have to decide what works best for you..
I dont use hoops or frames..
I just find the middle of the chart, the middle of the fabric and work from there.I dont do grids as I find them timeconsuming.
Well, I start on the right corner below because I stitch from the right to the left side. I stitch one square to the next cause its a lot easier. and i use a marker to mark where i last left off.
I stitch in hand most of the time,I roll up the fabric from left to right, or from the top down and use a sewing type stitch, with my right hand staying on top of the fabric.Occasionally, I will use a Q-Snap frame but overall I prefer to use nothing but my left hand to hold the fabric.
my haeds Im working on I stitch in hand and for smaller projects a q snap
thanks for all the great ideas
