Unknown said...: I find it quite a common thing to find parts of my HAED charts that I don't like or think look daft but you have to soldier on as the design ALWAYS looks right in the end. On my Midnight Tender peice I hated the nose right until I finished the very last page but on seeing the peice as a whole I realised that I was the daft one as it looked perfect! Stick with it as it is and you'll have a beautiful peice at the end!; December 2, 2010 at 2:33 AM
Sheri said...: I've finished 5 of these charts so far. The last thing I'd do is change the colors of a chart. When I first started stitching HAED's, I often I've thought something looked really wrong. After stitching a few more inches around the area, or even more, it always looked right in the end. If you just can't live with the colors, email HAED from their contact page on the website. I know they have had bad winter weather the last week, and may be behind in answering emails. If they don't get back, send another. I'm sure Michele will help you.; December 2, 2010 at 1:27 PM

Cuchitri said...: I appreciate, but not is a simple tone, it's a set of colors is assumed that the Santa Claus costume is red and not orange butane!
so I had to change six colors specifically, and there is another girl who has my same problem and one that is making another of
another designer and who happens exactly; December 4, 2010 at 2:37 PM

How to Carry Threads
This is really easy...it takes a while to get used to though....and your back will look terrible...this you will have to live with...One thing...You will be working your 10 x 10 grids in colums...it makes it easier...
1. Start with a 10 x 10 grid..
2. Find your first symbol...and stitch all of that symbol in your 10 x 10 grid....When finished...
3. Find the same symbol on the 10 x 10 grid below it...take your needle and bring your thread up like you are going to make the first 1/2 of the X ...but don't do it...just unthread your needle and lay the thread down..
4. Go back to the first grid you were working on...and stitch the next symbol the same way....when finished bring your thread down....
5. continue each symbol until your first 10 x 10 grid is finished....
6. start the next 10 x 10 grid ....you should have thread there already for you to pick up and stitch...

Tent Stitching (Wikipedia)
Tent stitch variants
There are three types of tent stitch, all producing the same appearance on the front of the canvas but each worked in a slightly different way and having particular characteristics, uses, benefits and drawbacks. These variants of tent stitch are known as basketweave, continental and half cross tent stitches:
Basketweave tent stitch - The basketweave form of tent stitch is worked in diagonal rows up and down the canvas. The yarn on the back of the canvas has a typical basketweave appearance, with alternating horizontal and vertical stitches. Basketweave is the best stitch to use for covering large areas of canvas as it does not distort the canvas as the other two forms of tent stitch do.
Continental tent stitch - Continental stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitches appear diagonally across two threads. This method uses more yarn than half cross stitch tent stitch but is more hardwearing.
Half cross tent stitch - Half cross stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitch appears vertical or horizontal, not diagonal, and crosses only one thread. This method uses less yarn than other stitches but is not very durable as coverage on the back of the canvas is a little thin.
