    Louise - I don't like metallics much but have used some stuff you can put on it to make it run smoother, is called thread heaven I think. It did make it easier to use but still didn't enjoy using metallics.

    Have had a nice day out with friends, eating chinese buffet for lunch and generally chatting the day away. Was going to settle down to some stitching tonight but it's supposed to be Earth hour in 16 minutes and we promised we'd turn off all our lights to show we care about the environment - can't see me getting much done in the dark lol!

    Sweetcarer - yay at starting it!! :j

    Can I ask - where did you find such a large piece of 'Magic Aida'? Whenever I have seen it it has only been sold in much smaller (prepackaged) pieces.
