I agree with Jillayne - I'd tend to grab myself another piece of fabric and start again rather than unpicking because you'll have fuzzy fluff left from the black thread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-83549234372291036242014-04-10T04:10:44.611+01:002014-04-10T04:10:44.611+01:00Oh yes - curses!

IT is beautiful and I agree with the others - if you have to re-do it, leave it and start a new one - that way you can keep this as it is and make it into something - besides, the black thread will leave tiny fibers in the cloth and when you stitch over it, your stitches will seem fuzzy in places...<br />If it's any consolation at all, your stitching is really lovely!Jillaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533504920962855079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-60352899112097698052014-04-10T01:41:02.759+01:002014-04-10T01:41:02.759+01:00Blackwork Journey is a wonderful blog (almost as n...Blackwork Journey is a wonderful blog (almost as nice as yours).

It may not work for the metallic threading and beading that come in later, but these stitches are fun to look at as they are.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345433893395079961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-21681904274029688692014-04-08T18:33:42.113+01:002014-04-08T18:33:42.113+01:00I can hear your cursing all the way over here - ve...I can hear your cursing all the way over here - very ... inventive! ;) Ahead lies the pain of ripping out your laboriously placed stitches, but at least going forward, it should be easier on your eyes and fingers to stitch over 2 threads instead of 1!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-7063179731704020502014-04-08T16:12:48.339+01:002014-04-08T16:12:48.339+01:00Yikes!
