Cathy, I started a ‘Shells Bread Cover’ kit (Something Special #50624) that was given to me years ago by a SIL who, at the time she gave it to me, told me that she’d be happy to receive the finished product as a gift someday (I’m doing it for her for Christmas). It’s stitched on 14 count Aida, and boy, is it difficult to work on that after being away from it for about 5 years! I find it’s stiff as cardboard, and believe it or not, I’m having a fair amount of difficulty finding the holes coming up from the back (yup, that’s right, my preferred method of stitching is pokin’ & stabbin’!). Oh well, at least it’s a fairly small project, and it shouldn’t take me tooo long to complete it…uh, it’ll just *seem* like forever : ) Pfeffer

This is what I find is so much easier on linen then one aida, finding the holes from the back. I don’t mind a stiff fabric, but it takes longer trying to find the holes. Richard
