Fiber Talk Canvas #9: Prep is Key for Red Rocks Bright Sun Success

In show #9 of our Canvas Series, Cindy and Beth discuss how they prepared to stitch Wendy Moore’s Red Rocks Bright Sun design. The show is sponsored by Cyberpointers (cyberpointers.org) and Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleafolkembroidery.com). Red Rocks Bright Sun is an advanced design that presents several stitching challenges. In the video we talk about many of those hurdles and how Cindy is working through them and Beth plans to handle them when she starts the project. We hope this discussion will help you approach any new project, particularly counted-canvas designs that present stitching challenges. As always, leave your thoughts and questions in the comment section. Below are all of the necessary links so you can explore Wendy’s designs.
