Sprite Stitch Board!

Hi all! Looong time no see!
Question for those of you who've used it - what's it like? Does it catch? is it super sparkly or just a little? halps!

For those of you that don't know, I made a pattern ages ago of a little rainbow unicorn with swears underneath it. I decided to kit and sell it as the patterns were going out the door like hotcakes and I didn't have a job at the time - income! yay!
Lately it's been quite hard to source the materials (aida included!) for kits locally, so i'm looking into my options, and found this. It's a little lighter than I dye but it *is* sparkly.

Also, does it fray much? tell me it's secrets, if you know them! please!

I'm looking at this stuff atm. http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/14-C ... 19x21.aspx

I've got some oatmeal sparkly stuff that I've been using, and I've not had a problem with it. Have no idea where it's from/brand or anything though! Once you cross stitch over it, the sparkles don't come through much, but the background has a nice sparkle to it. It's not easy to photograph well though in my opinion - it looks much nicer in person than in pictures.

I'd say go for it. Who doesn't love sparkly stuff? Plus, unicorns + sparkles = magic

I second everything lockitt said.
I haven't used the specific one you're looking at, but I'm in love with the Crystal fabrics from Picture this Plus, which I think are a similar base fabric but then it's hand dyed.
I don't find the sparkle to be overwhelming - it's a magical sparkle rather than a gaudy sparkle. But it doesn't photograph at all.
I didn't notice any real difference working on the iridescent fabric rather than regular fabric. Just don't bother using it for anything densely stitched. It's all about letting the background shine through.

So I brought some! and some of the natural with gold fleck too
Seem to be decent prices - two pieces and shipping for under $30 of my colourful australian dollars lol
