For all of you asking about the interfacing I used on my over-1 project. Here is the skinny-
My local ANG guild decided to do the Quaker hornbooks as a group project. (There are some VERY talented stitchers in that group! ) One of them suggested using some lightweight interfacing on the back of our linen. NOT iron-on interfacing-the little bumps might be a problem. (The hand basting on my hornbook was not to hold the interfacing on-it was called for in the pattern.) I just basted a piece of interfacing around the edges of the fabric with my sewing machine. The basting can be removed and the interfacing trimmed when I am finished stitching. That's it! So far, it has worked wonderfully. No dropped threads!
For those of you wondering-yes, I am going to use the interfacing on the back of Give Thanks as soon as I frog the pumpkin. :)

Using interfacing is a very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing!
You have chosen one of my favorite designs!
Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Nice choice! Thanks for the info on the interfacing, too.

Very Pretty, I can't wait to see it finished.

You'll love stitching this piece - it stitches up quickly and was a fun piece to stitch. You were smart to use 36 count for the fob - wish I had done that. Hope to see your finished piece soon.
Great start on another project. You're doing well haning in there with the 15 Challenge :)
Wonderful choice!
Thank you for the tip regarding the interfacing on the back of the over one project. I have been losing my stitchs and overstitching just so they would show up. I will get the interfacing and baste it on to finish out my project. Thanks!
Happy Stitching!
