You've already had some excellent ideas - I'd add elastic in there as well, in different widths, and bias tape for binding edges - it makes a huge difference. Also some good hand sewing needles. I've been starting out again in sewing and I'm building my kit up as well!

Adding this to the craftiverse feed..🧶

Sounds like the app hasn't been optimised for the ipad. Try rotating the ipad so it's in portrait mode.

How can those beautiful birbs have any haters?

Also reported as well, hopefully the mods will be onto it quickly!

Except it's not yours, it's @ohnomegan.bsky.social 's.

That is so adorably cute!!!

Oh yes, definitely recommend cotton or linen.

Well said. It's out there, and it's still a killer.

Thank you!! It's more about how you use the thread to create subtle shades and tones. Thread painting tends to only use the long and short stitch, the split stitch and the satin stitch, unlike other forms of embroidery that can use hundreds of different types of stitches.

It can be!! My suggestion is a plain cotton fabric, like an old bedsheets, that's what I started with!!

Thank you!! Cross stitch is actually a form of embroidery - thread painting is another. Embroidery is umbrella term that encompasses a lot of different types of needlework.

Gorgeous!! Stumpwork is another form of embroidery I want to learn!!

Thank you!! I'm still learning and have just been exploring the feeds! :D I'll check out that post of yours too. Thanks again!
