That one is on my list to try soon. I have this wonderful plan to try a new
stitch a week for my New Year's resolution. More attainable than a neater house! Cheryl On 12/13/05 8:51 AM, in article , "Pat Lerch" wrote: How about my favorite - Queen Stitch!

I'm working on a model job right now that has a lot of Queen Stitch...
..Fraid it's gonna be the last part of the job....Got a lot of practice to figure it out and get it done to look right.

It seems like a number of people find Queen Stitch ornery. What is it about the stitch that is challenging? It is a time-consuming, detail-oriented stitch. It takes so long to do a single queen stitch some people never find a rhythm for them. Most of us could fill in a solid color area with cross-stitch or tent stitch when half-asleep but queen stitch requires a LOT more attention. Here's a question: Has anyone ever done queen stitch the the different pairs of limbs stitched in different colors? This might be a neat effect. I could see this being used to represent wallpaper in a picture. -- Brenda Bilge Queen of Puzzle Pirates

I just hear a lot of people say it's difficult to get it right, and I'm not sure why. I find it to be a bit time-consuming, but it always seems to lay well. I was just wondering if I was missing something. Who knows? Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years! Here's a question: Has anyone ever done queen stitch the the different pairs of limbs stitched in different colors? This might be a neat effect. I could see this being used to represent wallpaper in a picture. I've done it with overdyes, and it's very nice. I could certainly imagine it would give a nice effect to use different colors for the pairs of legs (though it would add to the slowness of the stitch ;-) ). Best wishes, Ericka

I guess what I was getting at is too many of us try to stitch when we're half-asleep. I, for one, certainly cannot handle queen stitches in that state! -- Brenda Bilge Queen of Puzzle Pirates

I think what my challenge is is that I don't believe that I have a real good
"chart" of the stitch. I have one that shows two threads with the cross part which I understand...BUT I have a feeling that that is only have of the whole stitched piece that I'll be doing..... A lot of little "strawberries". I awaiting further description from the designer. I get the concept I just don't quite grasp the completion of the whole part. I've not see a good close up of the stitch NOR have I seen it in person..... I'm sure once I get my brain around it it will start rolling right along. Right now it's just something that I'm not "grasping" BUT also know that soon, hopefully, that Light Bulb will go off and then it will seem almost like "child's play".... So to speak...
