Like a ga-jillion other people, I've been wanting to stitch the Prairie Schooler ABCs all together as one piece. To keep it to a manageable size I thought I better stitch it over one on a 25-count laguna. Question is, how much over one stitching can I actually handle? Hence the reason for the Great Over One Experiment! I started Farmer's Alphabet on 25-count mushroom lugana and so far so good. It's a bit patchy because I only have a few of the called for DMC but I at least had the right color for the border. It's boring stitching squares but it's giving me an idea of whether or not I might be able to make it through a much larger piece without tossing it in the trash 1/26th of the way through!

It looks great. Good for you on trying it out before tackling the much larger piece.
You got this! It will be great, you'll see!!
Good Luck! Over-one can be daunting. Depends on how well your eyes can handle it and whether or not you enjoy doing it. But the results can be so cool .. so much detail in a small space!
The Farmer's Alphabet is a great way to practice over one stitching.
