I want to pass along a tip my grandmother gave me, when I (around 8) learned how to embroider under her watchful eye: There are dull/blunt needles available. Use them for even weave and/or aida fabric. The tip will go more smoothly through the hole/fabric (yes, also with 1/4 and 1/2 stitches) and not shred the fabric thread.
With linen or other fabric, one uses a sharp needle.
In the following decades, her advice always gave me a beautiful endresult.
Take care - Europe

Yes! Using sharp needles for cross-stitching on Aida cloth will make one crazy! Takes a lot of the fun out of the stitching.😉

Natalie this is great. When do we get to see your grandmother's denim embroidery? Will you show embroidery on different fabrics?

[@kellymontgomery3051]

Thank you Natalie! This is going to be the perfect series for me as I have been a hand embroidery wanna-be. I have a nickel allergy, do you know which needles do not have nickel in them? My fingers blister when I use needles with nickel in them.

I have had the whole family looking for lost needles and pins. Very often with flashlights and magnets 😂😂
