Thank you all for the tips and tricks. I am going to attempt my first cross stitch in about one months time. Just busy finishing off 3 afghans before I start a new project.
I have been reading, looking on line, browsing patterns and generally absorbing as much as I can. What I have discovered so far is:
1. I like 22 count Aida off white. White is quite glaring to my eye.
2. I do like HAED designs and cant wait to try one. I know as a beginner that I would be foolish to attempt it.
3. I would like to work from an enlarged printed pattern
4. I can do the crosses, either individually or as a line and can work back. Can also do half and quarter stitches,
couching. Parking is not for me...lol.
What I still have to learn:
1. Needle size for 22 count and is using on strand of floss adequate
2. I have the program for . xsd files. I have read that you can change colors using it. Any other advantages or
is it better to download Scanned cross stitch?
3. Still trying to figure out the info the downloads. I think I have got it but it's the 14h 17w that I am still trying figure.
I assume that it's the finished size, in inches, height and width. As I use metric measure it's a tad confusing! And how
does it affect the finished size if I change 14 count as pattern suggests to 22 count? |
