I can't see 40 either, although I once did Freelove Hazard on 40 over 2, but that was quite a few years ago. My favorite count is 32, and doing a half cross over one isn't too hard on 32. Maybe start the sampler over on 32.<br /><br />MelindaMerry Wind Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693488571364309791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-5322015664753254622013-01-18T12:32:46.715-05:002013-01-18T12:32:46.715-05:00I'm no help either on this one.

I would go crazy trying to work on such counted stitches. You are so courageous to even try. It looks good to me what you have done. Perhaps look closely at a sample that you own if that would help to see how it's done. Sorry for not being of any help.<br />Hugs.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-6890876621131483592013-01-17T20:52:46.910-05:002013-01-17T20:52:46.910-05:00I'm no help, either.

The thread keeps slipping under the linen and I had a great tutorial on how to do it correctly, but I lost it with the crash. Could you just follow the over one design with backstitching?marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-9706130742292216662013-01-17T12:49:33.812-05:002013-01-17T12:49:33.812-05:00I have Polly Mumford in my stash to stitch.

I agree with Jeanne, maybe stich your mini alpha over 2 until you reach the end and if you have room add some numbers. Or maybe your initials. How ever you do it I'm sure it will be sweet!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049164187594211423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-34477050580658382242013-01-17T12:23:53.447-05:002013-01-17T12:23:53.447-05:00Looks great so far but I think you'll need to ...Looks great so far but I think you'll need to either commit to the one over one or<br />go back to over 2 and see how it lands.

How about continuing on over two so the alphabet fits...but the numbers may not. Or you could stitch part of the alphabet and finish up with the numbers? Just some thoughts. I stitched Polly and had to make some adjustments too.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743582242165639104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-15540289473671913562013-01-17T11:41:33.429-05:002013-01-17T11:41:33.429-05:00I dislike over one also, but it is a necessary evi...I dislike over one also, but it is a necessary evil. Try doing a tent stitch instead of a complete over one.

I don't use 40 much anymore either. I did buy cheap 'cheaters' reading glasses from Walmart. They come in different strengths and slide over my normal glasses. They do the trick for me. Good luck!
