About Angela
Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt.
I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric,
preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida
cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other
questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer
within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)

Expert: Angela - 10/23/2009
Question
I'm a first time linen user and have a question about it. I know that generally you use the over two method when working with linen, but is it possible to use the over one method? My pattern is quite big and I want to shrink it by stitching over one thread on linen.
Thanks in advance!
Answer
Hello, Paneet :)
Yes, you can stitch over 1 thread, but try stitching with 1 strand of floss, and if that doesn't fill the fabric, try using 2 strands. Be sure to not pull tightly when you're stitching, otherwise your stitches will come through the fabric.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela :)
