Evaluating Size When Choosing a Stitch

Labels: Mary Legallet, stitch diagrams, stitches, Whimsical Stitch

Mary Legallet has tips on evaluating the size of a stitch when choosing what to use on your painted canvas.

I often stitch a sample in the margins of my canvas, just to see. It also helps to make sure the space you are going to fill will allow at least 3 full repeats of the stitch.
