You can...Andrea, it's too pretty to put it aside!! You can do it! Just grit your teeth, throw in those stitches and when it's done you will love the sampler even more than before. I thought the same thing, too--maybe I could just leave the verse off!?! It is such a pita. Satin stitch is fine but I guess the outline and the curvy letters make it so hard to get the needle through & for the stitches to look good. Remember, you have the CHS A&E to do soon, too! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35720658.post-51493455588218140282008-04-13T21:09:00.000-05:002008-04-13T21:09:00.000-05:00Andrea it's looking great and you've almost crosse...Andrea it's looking great and you've almost crossed the finish line. Yeah, yeah the PITA satin stitch is still left to do, but you know if you don't finish this you'll be kicking yourself. Maybe if you just do one strand at a time between other stitching it won't seem quite so painful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35720658.post-37652080978884285432008-04-13T18:31:00.000-05:002008-04-13T18:31:00.000-05:00This piece is absolutely wonderful.

How about backstitch them and leave the inside blank or fill with regular cross stitch, it will still be wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35720658.post-37996921248025023672008-04-13T18:28:00.000-05:002008-04-13T18:28:00.000-05:00Wow!
