Options ... in hardanger is an EGA GCC (Group correspondence class) and has been designed by Dale Sokolow.

This is my second hardanger course, the first one having been "Beginner's hardanger" with Marion Scoular. It really helped a lot for me to have taken Marion's beginner's course first as it gave me a good basic knowledge of hardanger before tackling something like this.
-
I was also exposed to two different ways of doing hardanger. With Marion, the project was done without any hoop or frame and with Dale it was suggested that we used a frame.
-
My preference seems to go with using a frame as I was much better able to control the regularity of my stitches. I had to remove the frame and do 2 fillings because they both had picots in them and those can't be done using the frame and I had problems with regularity of my stitches. That could have been made worst as I had done the whole piece with the frame and bang had to switch just like that and do the last two fillings holding the fabric in my hand.
I must say that I have learned a lot with these two projects.
-
I still have to cut the fabric around the border before it is considered all completed.
