This was my 1st time trying string work, bridge work, royal icing embellishments and brush embroidery. I have a lot to learn!!! I'd appreciate any advice!!! I had a really hard time with the strings breaking and stretching- maybe it was too loose? Having to stop all the time for my two little ones made this really frustrating- don't know if this is my thing right now. I learned it all from the internet- when I've got the time, I'd love to take a class!
