Possibly a silly question, but how did you premark the aida?

Also, it's great to see this again, it's coming along great!

Thanks, Bulbasaur!

Oh dear!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you when you do. Maybe invest in a fabric chalk pencil? Looking great!

I Did iron it before I started, hoping it would set it..

My fabric marker died on me after getting the basic gridding done. I'm thinking that if I mist water onto it, so it's only *just* damp enough to dissolve the marker, hopefully the sharpie won't run.
If it does run though, i'm using similar colours (blue where blues go etc) so I may get something really lovely out of it.

I am almost sure I've never had a sharpie (a real honest to goodness sharpie, not a marker because those do usually run when you try to wash them) run, infact, if I remember right, it's DAMNED hard to get out of cloth of any kind. It's meant to be permanent, although there are a few things that will take it off, but standard soap and water generally won't on fabric.

Hmmm. I was tempted to give the premarking a go... but I might wait to see how yours comes out first!

I think it's about time to finish this great pokémon project. Stay home and stitch until you finish it
