Michele at Bristly Thistle has a tip for those who hate turkeywork but need some on one of their canvases—stitch it the Susan Portra way. Basically you just do basketweave but leave big loops on top of the canvas. I suspect this works best in smaller areas as I can see holding a ton of loops out of the way would get difficult if you were doing this in a big space. Of course you could use non-tacky tape to hold the loops out of the way.

If you loathe turkeywork, this is something to try. Thanks, Susan, Sally and Michele!
