Need help! Problems!
Thought things were going well with A Walk Through The Highlands...I was getting used to the soft lugana and I was loving the 2x1...until I met two colors together. Then the problems started! I HATE how it looks! For those who have used 25ct before, did you do 2x1 or 1x1? If you did 2x1, how did the heavy coverage effect when the colors met? I'm seriously debating starting over before I get much further.
I know it's really hard to tell from the picture, but because of the heavy coverage, it's showing every little flaw and the two color meeting points look awful in my way overly hypercritical eyes.
Before I get any further, I could either restart and do 1x1 or get some 28ct and do 1x1 and not have to worry about the less coverage. I could also do 22ct and do 2x1, but the entire project would be even bigger! More than likely, I'm not going to be able to keep on...it's eating me alive.
Haven't been working on A Summer Ball much. I was afraid I'd end up focusing on one project, but here's where I am with it:

Problem with 2 over too, is that it gets so thick that you don't see the X's and just looks generally bulky.
:(
I'd strongly suggest 1 over 1 on 25ct for sure. I understand though, that when you're up close the coverage is not 100%, but you won't be looking at the full picture up close.... at 4 or more feet away, you won't see the fabbie. This was stitched 1 over 1 on 25ct... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w7-v6yGbHMQ/SviELxE5LvI/AAAAAAAAGSk/RM1E86cd__8/s1600/IMG_3430.jpg if it helps....
If you really hate the coverage of 1 ply, then perhaps do 2 ply on 22 or 18 ct?
Good luck!

Personally, I prefer dark on light fabbie as opposed to light on dark fabbie... But it's a personal preference. :)
If you have 28ct if your stash, I'd suggest doing some test stitching and seeing which you'd prefer. :)
