What is that big frame thing you use to stitch called? How does it work? Where did you get it?

Those are stretcher bars.  I prefer them to hoops or scroll frames, because they fit easily into my floor stand.  They also keep even tension throughout the duration of the entire project, without having to re-tighten things again and again, and they let you see the entire project at once.

I talk a little bit about them here, weighing the pros and cons against other options.

Here, I have a full tutorial on how to get your fabric set up on them, and how to pick the size you’ll need.

I’ve found them occasionally in craft shops, but the multi-pack on Amazon is the best place to get them.  They also don’t come with the tacks needed to mount the fabric.  That’s separate.

Hi, I didn't want to bother you but I've searched online for hours with zero luck. See, I bought 12 count aida, how many strands should I use? Have a nice day!

I’d use at least three for 12.  Maybe even 4 if you want really full coverage.

As such, I recommend doing whole stitches on something like 12ct.  The amount of strands needed to get good coverage using tent stitch would be hilariously absurd.

💎 for the special interests ask!

Thank you so much for asking I love this 💕💕 and i love rambling so enjoy my mess

oh boy i got so many, why do i have so many

Frozen - 2013, as soon as I saw the trailers I was excited and basically I’ve loved it ever since, I’ve watched the first one over 100 times and in multiple languages, i listen to show yourself constantly and it’s my go to to help me through/avoid a meltdown or shutdown

Marvel - around 2015, i’d been a big spidey fan for a while because of my man andrew garfield and then i got into mcu movies but quickly mostly ditched them for the comics 😂

Wanda Maximoff - 2016, after I got into marvel comics I fell in love with Wanda basically “love at first sight” 😂

Disney/Disney Channel - forever, grew up loving disney movies/shows and pretty much always had a disney special interest

Disney Parks - maybe 2013 maybe earlier, I went to Disney World that year and got super into the backstory and lore of the parks and rides and it just makes me so happy

Archie Comics - 2016, i had read some archie before but got super into jughead 2015 and my aroace icon jughead, and i carry an archie digest on me at like all times

Star Wars - 2015, when force awakens was going to come out my father had me watch all of the movies and I fell in love with them, I have watched force awakens, originals, and prequels so many times they never get old I love them and obviously it had a lot of meaning since I chose the name Rey

Dc Comics - 2016, the Teen Titans show was a hyperfixation of mine before this and then i watched flash and dceu movies, which led to comics and being in love with the batfam and ivy and others

Ducktales - 2017, as soon as the first episode of Ducktales 2017 came out I rewatched it so much, I can pretty much reinact the whole first episode as well as “The 87 Cent Solution!” I also have watched the original but the new one means more to me

Bojack Horseman - 2017, when I found out about Todd being asexual, I watched it and haven’t stopped watching it. I’m constantly playing it in the background and have probably played all 6 seasons like 20 times each.

sorry this is so long but you ask an autistic about special interests and it’s like hi welcome to my ted talk

@sodagiraffe @flowersnteacups THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, OMG//// 😳 Both of y'all I would say especially know how I am with my hair (you've both been here so long and I consider you as my really good buds) and I WAS SO NERVOUS???? I've had the same style since before I even started this blog (always cut to the same style type literally just with different lengths/stylists), and...I don't think I've loved a haircut THIS MUCH in forever (it was always refreshing to get one and have it not look like split-end ridden hot garbage 😌) and it feels so good and different and I feel a bit more....mature???????? Idk maybe it's just because my old style kept me just thinking of middle/high school me, so it kinda kept me from feeling my age and kept me from feeling like a woman--not a girl. I like that I kept it long and I'm just feeling them good vibes and who knows, maybe it'll have a good overall mental impact, too 🤗

Hi! Do you ship outside the US?

I do!  My point of sale system doesn’t take credit cards, but I have an international order form linked at the top of my shop that takes PayPal and plastic.

It may be that the fandom tags are usually relationed with otayuri tags...

ugh that makes sense, thanks for pointing that out
