One might say that if a full repeat of a band is already stitched then one already has an exemplar in front of one to follow. If there was a correctly rotated N or S stitched already then one could continue to follow that also - the problem occurs when it is in the brain only.N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-63110652773814944102010-10-08T15:46:26.367+01:002010-10-08T15:46:26.367+01:00The rotation as the source of skewing on the lette...The rotation as the source of skewing on the letters is an interesting theory, but I'm not totally convinced. I spend a lot of time graphing and then stitching lots of the more complex "up and down" strapwork bands - the wide counted patterns with complex and long repeats. If one is working these, the most natural way to do them is to carefully establish one first full repeat, then copy from that repeat as you progress. The process requires a huge amount of mental flipping/mirroring and rotating. To the extent that many modern stitchers unfamiliar with the logic take a long time to negotiate it. But the period stitchers work rarely shows a major mistake - the repeats are clean and clear regardless of how complex or long they are. I don't quite understand how the rotation problem would then manifest on the alphabets and not the strapwork bands. But it's an interesting idea and one worthy of further investigation. <br /><br />-kbsalazar http://string-or-nothing.com <- current project "Clarke's Law Sampler" for examplesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044155388406817290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-64517409916793578582010-10-08T07:49:09.144+01:002010-10-08T07:49:09.144+01:00so incredible what an amazing mind you have. think...so incredible what an amazing mind you have. think of all the planning that had to be done. smart young girls.barbara r-ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817209040644262192noreply@blogger.com
