PastorBob Report post Posted December 18, 2021 Nice work. Where did you get the basket weave stamp with the cross in the middle? Stitching is looking good. One of the areas I struggled with early on was the overlap, or backstitch piling up and being very visible. Not sure if it's the right approach, but what I do is pull the thread super tight on the first few holes, so that when I come back around I can do the same on the overlap and it makes it much less bulky in that area.

I got the Basket stamp from Barry King. Thank you will try doing the overlap the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have several and have not looked at BK for them. I will check it out! The one I have been using recently is Sergey's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck123wapati Report post Posted December 20, 2021 Get a small block of wood to line your letter stamps against you can draw lines on it to get the correct spacing as well and trust your backstitch without the glue. A really nice project I like your drawing style and tooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
