I'm afraid my Toccata has been neglected since I discovered I was one thread off. I managed to find and fix the error that I made. After all my work the bottom left corner was not matching up with the bottom section. I was truly exasperated by it--I couldn't find where I had made the error. I have discovered (so far) a few discrepancies between the stitch diagrams and the larger chart. Now I am trying to be much more careful--looking at both diagrams and making sure things line up. The inner motifs should be okay I hope (though I have so far spotted one error). As long as I count correctly everything should fit. Once I fixed my mistake I got right back into stitching on this one! I am once again really enjoying it!
Now I need help again. I am ready to do block 6, which is "honeycomb filling stitch". It is a pulled thread stitch and the instructions say to pull each leg very tight. I will have to put this in my Q-snaps for this motif, I think. Has anyone stitched this and taken a photo, by any chance? I am wondering how open the motif will be? I'm always curious on these as when it is framed you will be able to see through it--do you leave it as is? Or do you put some fabric on the back so you can't see through? I'm not sure whether to skip this block and go on to the next or just go ahead and give it a try. I don't mind pulled stitches--I only wish I could see what the end result is meant to look like.
