Flosstube Extra - Organza Diaries #2 - Why and how!?

Welcome to my channel where I share updates and progress on my cross stitch projects, (not so) helpfully assisted by my cockapoo Alfie!

This is the second of a new mini-series following my adventure stitching The Legend of Freya by Bella Filipina on silk organza! I've done a grand total of one small test piece and that went... interestingly! So come along with me and live vicariously while I figure it out on the go!

This update I'm answering 2 questions - why am I doing this to myself? And how exactly do you stitch on waste canvas? Bonus clip of my first Freya stitches!

Project details
Pattern - The Legend of Freya by Bella Filipina
Fabric - Silk organza and 18ct waste canvas
Threads and beads - all called for, DMC 2 over 1, krienik 1 over 1, bead placements/quantities slightly adapted for fit the smaller count!
