I have a question though...When she says 15 or 18 stitches to an inch, would that be between 1.5 and 2 on some of the machines?

I just finished my first bargello wall hanging and was very surprised at how easy it really was, so don't give up Linda. I read the tute that was posted the other day on here and to be honest, it was very confusing to me. It would be way too easy to get them mixed up and then you'd have a huge mess! I had watched some videos and was still not sure what they were trying to say. Seems like there are several different ways to approach it. I finally found a pattern at e-patternscentral.com with directions that I could understand. I bought it for $4.99 and downloaded it instantly. Since I had never done one before I thought I'd just do part of it and see how it turned out. Here's a snap before I added the border and binding.
