I think using better floss has really made this one look a lot cleaner than my previous projects!

I love that steampunk map and I'm considering if I want to try it myself lol! The spooky house is looking good too despite the setbacks!
The fabric I used on this one is called "fiddlers cloth". It was for sale with all the regular aida cloth at the fabric store so I thought I would try it out. It's a bit more expensive than the regular cloth, but it's stiffer and holds tension better which is really good for me! I thought it would look better than the plain green background in the pattern
If you do ever decide to try the map pattern, my main tip would be to pick a fabric where the weave isn't super loose. Just...trust me on that one ๐
