I did not realize when I downloaded this new pattern that it is larger than the widest loop that I have (I realize this is my own fault for not reading the description closely enough). Is it ok to clamp the loop down onto parts I’ve already stitched so I can work on the next part of the pattern or will this mess up the stitches?

    I hope it works out! I’m always happy to talk stitching.

    And yeah, I guess 15 would be pretty big. I think the endgame for big projects is a frame that has a chair in front of it, like a loom or a small desk, so you’re not juggling the hoop in one hand, and the needle in the other. I don’t have the level of commitment to a single piece for anything that size, so I don’t even have to worry about how I can’t afford it, lol.

      I finished about 25% of it before I started realizing this might be a problem so I feel too invested in it to quit now lol

        Haha, I’ve been there: “This project has suddenly become way slower and more difficult than expected. Should I stop and try something else? …never! Full speed ahead!”
