New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Secoya,
No, that's not silly at
all!
I would think
the same, that orange, tan and yellow really wouldn't go
together...yet they do, and beautifully!
Every one is
turning out to be a masterpiece.
Dave,
Yes, using 4 plies on 14
count Aida will be very tight. I usually recommend 2 ply for 14
count Aida. 
3 ply isn't terrible, but I've always
preferred 2!
3 ply isn't terrible, but I've always
preferred 2!Technically, you're not
supposed to knot your thread. It can cause lumps. The thing is, I
wouldn't worry about getting too purist. If you're happy with it,
that's what counts! The idea is to weave in all ends to avoid
lumps, though. And there's a wonderful trick to starting your
thread with a loop instead of a knot (but only if you're using an
even number of strands, so two or four will work with this, but not
three). I hope this illustration is clear enough:

Ends should be woven in, not knotted. But again, if
you're happy with it, no worries!
For 14 count,
yes, I'd recommend 2 ply. The type of needle to use would be a
tapestry needle; it's a blunt-ended needle. It won't pierce your
fabric in odd spots, as a sharp needle would. (A sharp needle is
useful for applying beads, but for floss, you don't want your
stitches going all wonky by using a sharp needle and piercing the
wrong spots!) The size of tapestry needle for 2 ply on 14 count
Aida would be a size 24.
Hope that helps!
gnittings,
Welcome! (What a cool user name!)
(What a cool user name!)We don't have a downloadable program at the moment.
There may be one for a future version, but at this time, it's only
available through our site.
