Just finished stitching this. Now to wash, press, and figure out how I'm going to display it.

#CrossStitching

Jayne keeps challenging me! Her latest suggestion was that I create a 3D printed Laying Tool. This is a tool used for laying embroidery threads (often silk) flat onto the fabric backing. This avoids getting finger oils on delicate threads.

A bit of FreeCAD work, several printing iterations, and I think I have a winner. I'll make it a bit longer, increase the tip radius, and and increase the number of instances.

An earlier test had stability and consistency issues. Neighbour Grant suggested the cooling wasn't sufficient and that leaving more time between layers would solve the problem. And so it was - a set of 6 printed cleanly where a single one did not.

Tomorrow I'll do the (hopefully) final refinements, then print a larger batch. I'll eventually need a few hundred as promotional giveaways.
