How to stitch faster?

You could consider doing a tent stitch on a smaller count fabric.  I know I have done this with HAED patterns in the past.

I'm personally terrified to work with evenweave! It just looks so tiny and there's no one around her ...

evenweave is wonderful to work on, it's so soft and I love the look of 1 over 1 when doing faces, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

don't worry about being fast speed only comes with Experience and the most important task is enjoyment for if we were all too fast I don't think we would enjoy it as much

Take time to smell the roses............

Thank you all for your ideas about taking pics while working on a project. I will definitely be using my camera more!  I am just starting to work on linen and my eyes are getting worse. I have to use reading glasses and a magnifying glass sometimes....so sad!
