It's so interesting to see her pattern done in white, but it works well.

I did use a hoop - I needed a taut, flat surface to work the stem stitch in particular - I think the string is such a robust material it didn't seem to mind a bit of squishing...and after a gentle hand washing and line drying, a steaming with the iron seemed to coax it back into place just fine.

I've enjoyed it so far, and it has definitely helped me with colonial knots.<br /><br />Side question: When you have a larger project, do you use a hoop and somehow position it so it doesn't crush parts you have already worked or do you use a frame?
