I used to mix and match 1 NQ to 1 HQ so I can HQ the base linen yarn. That allows me to mix and match linen yarns to HQ the linen cloth. To make the end product, I use 2 HQ components and 1 NQ component so I don't use up all my HQ and still be able to HQ the item. That was before I got Steady Hands II. Now I just gamble with Hasty Touch 80% till the last few hundreds, mend, steady hands again, touches with great strides mix. HQ level-appropriated Accessories help a ton.
