That is awesome. My hubby said the same thing. He is a retired construction foreman and was really impressed. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching

Welcome! and so glad you enjoyed

I am using 1 strand of floss over 1 Full cross

Once mine shipped it took about a month to get here. Ilove bothmy mini and M4. I just spoke with Michal last week and they are still working and all ok. so hopefully you will get that shipping notice soon

Have not tried scrolls since i do not use them. I am a hoop or qsnap kinds girl

If i am in an area with lots of confetti i will switch to stitching row by row. In my live there were only 2 colors in that diagonal so i did each color separately. When i get to the areas that use lots of different colors i will stitch row by row stitch by stitch. Yes it is alot of needle threading. But the plus side is you don’t get lost as to where you are. And you alleviate those single stitches by stitching them as you go. If you watch some of my early videos i explain the row by row method

@@NeedleBugg thank you much!!!

I have a long tail on my thread and I gradually move the needle along that tail as my thread is worked.

@@NeedleBugg thank you :)

I do not cover my Nurge hoops with bias tape. I feel it is not needed. have not had any problems with marks, crushed stitches, etc. Infact i like the Nurge hoops better than Hardwick Manor and they are less expensive

@@NeedleBugg thanks for letting me know. I will be ordering some Nurge hoops.

Yes i did. It took a very long time but i finally got it. July of last year and yes i do really like it. Downside is it doesn’t hold a qsnap very well. So you can only really use hoops. I did have to send the clamp part back to have it upgraded as it got so loose I couldn’t stitch with it. They did fix it. Although that took almost 3 months even though i do like it if i hsd it to do over again i would not have gotten it. I would have investigated the Dubko stands further. Their sofa stand sounds quite interesting. I am so glad you are finding my videos helpful. Thank you for you interest.

@@NeedleBugg Thanks so much, Karen.

It makes half and quarter stitches easier/simpler :)

Oh - gosh that's so simple =)

It also makes the fabric that is visible much smoother. I find it more visual pleasing than Aida with the large holes and visible threads.

yes I have seen the Dubko. The reason I chose the Potoky is for the way you get to the back of the work. Potoky is much easier to access the back and do what you need to do as it flips side to side rather than flipping up

To be honest I am not in love with the Potoky. The mini or the floor stand. Rather disappointed in both. I am seriously thinking of selling the mini table stand. And would even consider selling the floor stand if there was interest. I have a Dubko sofa stand due to arrive next week. And because they are more versatile am considering the Dubko table stand.

You are so lucky to get it that fast

Glad to hear you love them both. Same here. When i saw Luda’s i knew i had to get one. She looks so comfy sitting there stitching. And the company has been great to work with. Mine has taken so long due to CoVid. They had to alter their schedule and production to follow safety measures for the virus. Totally understandable and I don’t mind waiting.
