I have decided doing the chain stitch is what hurts most. So I have been doing little of it.
But by popping the embroidery back in the hoop I have been able to make a thatched roof for the cottage and some new flowers off to the left.
Slow But Steady Progress
this is coming along well but o not overdo it and strain the wrist or agravate your old injury.
I am trying to rebuild strength in my hands with a better diet and lots of supplements.
I promise to be careful!
I do hope you don't hurt yourself while doing this marvelous piece, but selfishly I love this piece so much that I'm glad to see it back again!
Thanks Noel,
I really am trying to be careful. Stitching means too much to me. I no longer wait until it hurts to stop. I am using the Tortoise's approach, "Slow and steady wins the race."
