That’s beautiful! And 14 count is a sensible Aida to start with. The only way I’ve found with stiff Aida is to keep working with it - sorry I know that’s no help at all

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

It's starting to get easier, or the little bit I'm working on is anyway!

It does slightly give a bit as you work into that area. It's a bugger, but it's the only thing I've found....
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

I ended up bring the aida and hoop down, putting it all on the chest freezer, and using my body and arm to keep the outer hoop down while I used a knife to fasten it up!.gif "(rofl)")

Or maybe you could just buy some more Aida? It’s cheap.... the only thing is, you shouldn’t keep the Aida in the hoop when you’re not using it as it damages it and also means you end up with a permanent hoop shaped crease

I don't. I always take it out once I've finished for the day.
It's ok to work on once it's in the hoop, it's just getting it there in the first place! I feel like I've done loads but it's maybe 2 square inches and that's it!

Good girl
An experienced cross stitcher apparently averages 1 square inch per hour....

There you go - I’ve been doing it since I was 10 and can’t get a whole lot faster than that.....

That's taken me about 4 hours today. I find it really relaxing though.
