  • 5/5 from Ngaire Holman, attended Oct 2021: Hi Nakisah, I really enjoyed your class. You put so much thought into planning it. I’d like to share some ideas with you. The ladies in the class were finding it difficult to see what you were doing. It was a great idea to change to using the black thread. Maybe if you did a mockup piece of Aida Cloth on a large scale and demonstrated with that then it would be easier to see. You could use cardboard with holes in it. In the past when I’ve ever needed lots of hole, I’ve made them by and used the electric drill or even the old hand drill. It saves time. Cereal packets are a wonderful supply of cardboard. Thick wool would easily be seen in your demonstration. In my craft group I learned not so long ago when using stranded cotton to separate each thread and replaces them. The theory is that it will give a flatter more even look. Another thing I learned was before I started to run a coloured thread down the centre of the fabric and across the midline. This gave a true centre and can be followed throughout the project. It’s easy to pull out last. A problem I’ve found was that when I did my practice stitches and pulled them out they left a mark. Next time I think I’ll do it closer to the edge. In the past I’ve avoided using metallic thread because it has controlled me. Thanks for that wonderful tip. Nakisah, you should be really proud of what you did today. I had a wonderful two hours with you and a group of ladies being happy together. Good on you. A Big thank you. Ngaire
