The World of Cross Stitching Issue 210 Review

Afternoon All,

I have been busy stitching my Christmas exchange so can't show you an update

I have a question for you all, when is back stitch I stitch in each individual square but looking at the front of the World of Cross Stitch magazine which I got yesterday it appears this isn't how some people do it. Can you tell me if you do each square of whether you run a larger piece of thread over several squares?

I really like Dictionary of Coffee which is funny as the Dictionary of Tea design doesn't appeal at all! I also like the new flower design (Bothy Threads Say it with Flowers) but feel its expensive for what it is. I think I will add Dictionary of Coffee to my Christmas wishlist. Louise do you think the individual coffee designs would fit in coasters?

I like this new design :T Looking at the size and dividing it up, you are looking at a maximum of 9 x8.6cm and you can buy square coasters with a 9x9 aperture such as there ones: Coasters . I have used this seller before, as I know the coasters are deep enough to hold stitching.

Louise, I can't get the link to work?

I run over several squares, sometimes more sometimes less than suggested on the chart. I do what looks right to my eye.
