But since I'm not primarily a cross-stitcher (not that there's anything <i>wrong</i> with being a cross-stitcher), the grid on the cases for cross-stitching looked a bit tight for working decorative embroidery stitches. So, I admired from afar. Sigh. Pretty, pretty stitched iPhone cases.
</p>
<p>
Then, I dropped my phone. Kee-runch and boo hoo. I decided it was time for a soft rubber case and just happened to find this one! While it's not designed specifically for embroidering, seemed perfect to me! It was. Here's why:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Soft rubber and big holes - </b>More forgiving to a fully loaded needle that might pass through the same hole 2-3 times.<br />
(Which, you'll need to do if working a stitch like this.)
</li>
<li>
<b>Offset grid -</b> I really like that it's an offset, diamond grid. I find that easier to work on for stitches like these.
</li>
<li><b>Re-do it / Re-use it</b> - You can work a fairly simply design on it, like the one I did above. Then, when you're ready for a change you can cut the floss away and stitch a new design on the same case! (I'll post again when I change mine.)

What stitch is that? It's a <b>Fern Stitch</b>. No pattern needed! Have fun!
