I enjoy trying other types of stitching along with my cross stitch, but tend to go for regular type of charts, but do like the mixed whole and fractional stitches (except half cross which I think just looks too unfinished) and don’t mind doing back stitch. I am not into hardanger which is maybe just to hard for me to try with my eyes, and co-ordiantion but don’t mind doing some regular embroidery stitches in a design, mainly satin or like stitches.
I’m glad to see in the poll results that more people aren’t afraid to try new things with their needles!
I love a stitchy challenge!
