I recommend getting some beeswax or thread heaven to help keep the metallics/filaments under control... and use shorter lengths so they don't fray out on you. I love sparkly stuff and quite often will chuck some beads or blending filament in "just because I can." I love them and don't find them to much of a problem, just go slowly, one step at a time, you'll love it!Freddysmama (Kirstin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14567994718222180484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10826053826942506.post-11530991907501264782011-07-24T11:12:04.586+10:002011-07-24T11:12:04.586+10:00Isn't it funny how small the world is :D I thi...Isn't it funny how small the world is :D I think you were talking about me on your blog when you were talking about this magazine :DCaitlin @ Naughts Cross Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904101627826506419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10826053826942506.post-31581851879083031322011-07-24T08:07:09.428+10:002011-07-24T08:07:09.428+10:00Hi Mangogirl :)
I just found your blog while follo...Hi Mangogirl :)<br />I just found your blog while following a trail from blog to blog!<br /><br />I love JE too! I managed to get my hands on a copy and now have to figure out which one to do first!<br /><br />I think I'm leaning toward the Water Goddess at the moment or maybe the Summer Fairy...<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do :D<br /><br />Kirstin <br />"Stitchin' Addiction" <br />http://addictedtostitchin.blogspot.com/Freddysmama (Kirstin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14567994718222180484noreply@blogger.com
