Few art mediums i’ve worked with make me go “oh, what the fuck is this” as often as embroidery. Perfectly straight thread gets pulled Too Fast? Nope, fuck you, unfixable knot. Undo 30 minutes of work to find enough thread to tie it off. Just finished a pattern on a tricky part of a jacket? NOPE, it’s 3 am and your tired ass just sewed part of the pocket to the sleeve somehow. Start over. Working on a big piece and just ran out of a color? Your local craft store is out forever. You were actually the only person to ever need that specific color so it got discontinued by Big Embroidery Floss. You can have this other one that’s a slightly different color and tangles itself every 5 minutes tho. Every time i actually finish a piece for real with no lingering issues i feel like if Sisyphus actually got that damnb boulder up the hill the triumph is unmatched
