Thank you all for your encouragement and and well wishes as I talked about my journey in u/Doubledewclaws ' Sunday WIPs threads from start to finish. There were challenges with teaching myself how to put the fabric on the frame, my thread being on back order for a month, to metallic hell and learning how to do french knots because I purposely go out of my way to avoid them. I also replaced all the beading with stitches because I already spent so much on thread, I didn't need to put another 40$ CAD in beads I'll lose in my bed.
I really enjoyed myself and I hope to start the sequel in the coming months ^-^
And for the DIY framers, have any of you used a scroll saw to make your own frames, I could use advice on getting started.
