Kimberly takes up the eternal question--when do you use basketweave instead of continental (or vice versa).

Personally I use continental when the row is just one stitch high or when I'm running out of thread. Otherwise I am basketweave all the way. How about you?
One of the customers at Quail Run answered the question with basketweave beautifully!

Me too, Basketweave unless a single row. Except for special circumstances such as, stitching with black Very Velvet on black glitter canvas required rows of Continental because I couldn't see the Basketweave rows!
ReplyDeleteDon't blame you a bit! That situation screams for continental!
