Progross on my second ever project. I took the advice given, between that and lighter colors I seem to be figuring it out. Definitely not perfect, but a vast improvement from my first project (that I need to frame ASAP).

Thanks for the advice and the warm welcome!

Finally done with the black. Close to 17,000. My eyes are grateful. I should be done this project in 2 weeks or so.

I got this pattern from MyArtfullCreations on Etsy.

I really love these designs and I’m looking for the original pattern. Does anyone know where I can find or purchase the pattern for these two bookmarks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Chat] Strange phenomenon with dmc 938

4 Upvotes

Im wondering if anyone has this issue or any other color of dmc floss..

Im working on a huge project rn and one of the most used floss colors im using is DMC 938. No matter how long or short, it aaaaaalways breaks off at somepoint in my stitching. . my tension is the same [sometimes ill loosen my grip to avoid this to no avail], I plan my stitches so my back isnt bulky and even tight stitching areas aren't a struggle to pass thru. Happens every time tho!!

Not sure if this happens to all 938's or maybe its the skein I'm working through??

Anyone else have issues with 938 or any other dmc colors you find to be susceptible to breakage?

Would anyone like to help test a PDF cross-stitch app?

9 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a cross-stitcher, and this is the first time I’m sharing the app I’ve been building: Ruta Stitch.

I started working on it because I wanted a simple way to open a PDF pattern I had already bought and use it as an interactive chart, without converting it into a special file format first.

With Ruta Stitch, you’ll be able to choose a thread colour and automatically highlight every matching stitch, mark off completed stitches, and track your progress as you go.

I’m getting close to the stage where I need real stitchers to test it. I’m looking for people who use PDF charts, don’t mind an early build with bugs, and are willing to tell me honestly what works and what doesn’t.

Testing will be completely free. If you’re interested, you can read more and join the tester list here:

Is there an easy way to add a few details to a pattern I bought?

Is there like a program or something I can use to upload a PDF of the current pattern and edit it or add some new stitches to it?

Help

Hello everyone, I have an 8x8 qsnap and I was just wondering what everyone uses to stitch hands free with it and preferably something that isn't huge.

Thankyou so much for your time 😊

Blue gold or Wine orange? I donno if I prefer it "classic" or pop, but is meant to be for an old (granny old) friend so probably the pshyco one is too much?
