Q on stitch
I have returned to stitching now that the holidays are behind us. My chart
has the eyes of some fairies to have 4 symbols in the same block. 3 are the same 1 is different. What am I to do with that?? TIA Donna |

Donna,
It sounds like you would do either 4 quarter stitches in that square (a quarter stitch is like half of one leg of the X) or a 3/4 stitch and one quarter stitch where it shows the different symbol. Is there any information in the stitching instructions portion of your chart? Paula H My chart has the eyes of some fairies to have 4 symbols in the same block. 3 are the same 1 is different. What am I to do with that?? |

TIA Seems to me that it should be stitched over one thread instead of over two. So instead of one large X in the square, you get four tiny ones. emerald |

I was afraid you guys were going to say that. I cant fit 4 stitches in 1
square so I will improvise. Thanks for the answer. Donna "Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply " wrote in message ... From: "Donna D." ......

Add to that the fact that I am lazy and you'll know why I take a chortcut! When I run into this situation on eyes, I do a full cross stitch in the predominant color and then just add a little french knot in the spot where that 1/4 stitch is!! SHHHH -- don't tell or the needlework police might come get MOI!!!! CiaoMeow ^;;^ .
