I was not enjoying stitching on 25 CT fabric. I had a small clip on magnifier that i constantly had to move to get into the correct position. I decided to restart on 20 count. That meant a trip to The Ribbon Rose for fabric. They had a sale on magnifying lamps, so I treated myself to a Triumph Led light magnifier.
What a difference this has made. I can see the stitches much more clearly and enjoying it much more. You can see the tiny start I made on At the Steps.
Before purchasing fabric, I had a small piece of 20 count that is just big enough for Iris Keeper, so tested that first. I did a mix of tent and full cross and decided i enjoyed full cross much more. I will stick with full cross in future.
Before the HAED sale ended, I ended up buying another chart.
