I do have a little secret to tell......I made a huge blunder with my stitching last week. I guess that's what happens when you pick up a UFO from ages ago and forget to re-read all the instructions....who has time for that?!! I realized, once I had taken my stitching of the q-snaps, that the white stitching on one side look quite different from the white stitching that I had just finished.......and then I realized......the white should have been stitched using three strands of thread and not the usual two! Arghhh.....what to do? Unpick all the white and then re-stitch it....you know how I hate stitching on black aida, so that didn't seem like a very good option. So, here's my secret....promise not to tell? I just went over all the white stitching and restitched with one strand of thread!
I guess if you were going to look at the stitching with a magnifying glass you'd probably be able to tell, but I don't think anyone will be doing that....at least I hope not!
So that's our little secret....don't tell anyone!
Until next time....happy stitching!

Rhona, I've done that myself before. Sometime eyes don't stand out and I will go back and put another strand on top of the others. I don't think anyone will ever know and I won't tell. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
I would have done the exact same thing!
How frustrating, but also how easily amended, and you really can't see the difference. I've heard that this is a good method of adding blending filaments to projects too. :)
Sounds like the perfect solution to me, it is something I have done myself in the past. x
Honestly, I probably would have done the same thing! It looks great, though!
Oh dear, how frustrating! At the end of the day no one will notice. Your secret is safe!
Il tuo segreto è al sicuro !!!
Capisco che è difficile lavorare su Aida nera (io l'ho fatto su lino nero ed è stato molto difficile) ma il risultato finale è bellissimo.
Buon lavoro
Hello & Happy Thursday Rhona,The magazine The world of Cross Stitching I found the pattern "Birthday Countdown. Would it be possible for you to chart me the word Happy for that chart. I want to make a Happy Birthday banner and stitch my family names and birthday on .Then bring the banner out to display on birthday. Thanks Michelle
I would have done exactly what you did. I doubt you can tell even in person unless you looked really really close.
I was going to suggest that!! No one would know!! Love the cardinal!
I don't think anyone would be able to tell or would be looking that closely!
Oh, yes! I totally agree with this idea and I’m sure I’ve done the same thing.
In time you will forget you even did that! Tee hee!
Hugs,
Barbara xx
