Niece

Niece

      Confirmation cross, for my niece.  The pattern is one of my go-to patterns by Lene Bjorn.  I had found a couple of spools of DMC metallic thread and thought I'd give it a try.....HATED IT!!!   !!!!   It twist, it's NOT smooth (like my sewing thread), the metallic part had fray and weak parts, rings won't open if I made a mistake...grrrrrrrrr!!!  On the bright side, it looked pretty, once it was done.

      I like Coats & Clark of Sulky metallic sewing thread...very smooth and I can open rings.

    Cross and painting look wonderful. The metallic is a pain, and you have to loosen your tension a bit (and still it's harder to close rings….and forget opening one if you make a mistake) but it does look pretty once the project is finished.
