It helped me a lot to keep my tension even so that my stitches lined up both vertically and horizontally. Just draw some lines on your pattern before you apply the laminate.

I don't have a good photo of what it's supposed to look like, but one problem I'm having in this picture is that it's too stretched and "net" looking (a little like loosely worked trellis stitch). The pattern is for 1, 2, then 3 stitches per loop. . .then repeat. And it looks more horizontal than diamond-like. I'm trying to come conceptualize what to do to get it right. . . with the hope that after that further practice will get the right result. I'll post more when this happens.Stitching With Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610159288243869896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846456272519869994.post-27036004483458408572010-06-09T15:17:13.885-04:002010-06-09T15:17:13.885-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stitching With Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610159288243869896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846456272519869994.post-83882188626325609022010-06-09T05:42:54.257-04:002010-06-09T05:42:54.257-04:00This is fascinating because I'm dealing with t...This is fascinating because I'm dealing with the same kind of problem. The top left square that you refer to has what Tricia Wilson describes in her pdf file on DBH as a 'widening net' idea going on. Personally, I understand it as a diagonal 'bias' and it seems to me that it applies to all needlelace stitches and, as with Torchon lace, (which is not what we're looking at but), the stitches lean to one side. The way I understand it is, if you are working a square then you work 'odd and even rows' and that should correct the 'expanding net' problem. I'm on exactly the same problem, but with circles (ew!)Beth Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160368186306629601noreply@blogger.com
