Check here to see how it'll look! Hi! Long time no see.I just inherited a bunch of cross stitch stuff (seriously, I could open my own store) since my mom died last week. I used to stitch occasionally in a big floor frame, but since going through all of her cross stitching stuff, including some magazines that went back to the year I was born, 1990, I've picked it up again. I usually curl up in bed with a movie on my computer and stitch, so I took my project out of the frame, but I miss the tension a frame had, so I invested in some hoops.Now, my mom taught me CS, and she hated hoops. So now I feel confused. What do I do with a larger project? Can a hoop go over existing stitches? I will be removing the hoop every time I set my stitching down, and I usually stitch at max for 3 hours at a time, so I can't imagine a hoop doing a lot of damage to existing stitches, but since I've never done this before, I don't know.Basically, I need a basic crash course in hoops. Any help is welcome! Thanks!Tags:equipment, how to, recommendations When using monofilament what size do you use? What I find was wieght limits. Like 200 lbs test or 50 test etc. I was thinking about trying it on my next project. Not sure what weight to use for which fabric counts.. Tags:equipment, recommendations I don't remember if I mentioned here:Gridding is greatMonofilament is magnificentfinding only one color (red) is _frustrating_But it is how I feel.When I saw my father last month, he told me that he knew people have dyed their own monofilament with: Rit dye and really hot water. So I tried it. And it worked. ^_^ I now have purple and orange filament, which started its life as clear fishing line, and is going to go into use on some projects I've got as soon as I'm reasonably sure I've gotten them sufficiently rinsed. (The bundle of orange I did most recently keeps leaving little marks on the paper towel I put it on to dry - I probably bundled it too tightly. The purple's acting perfectly clean.) I'm going to make more colors as I slowly accumulate empty pickle jars in which to house the dye baths.(I'm not making red, I bought red. I won't run out for a while, either.)Now I can have multiple reference lines!Easily differentiated centerlines!Pattern page demarkation!Yay gridding!Tags:equipment, how toMood:happyhappy After a very busy weekend at work.( Gay Pride days in Orlando). I was looking at how I carry my take along projects. My current Take-a-long is a fractional bookmark freebie.I have the fabric (14 ct ) on a 6 x 6 Q-snap frame. The thread I have in a regular floss/bobbin type plastic box. A lot of colors over 50. I have taped the symbol/floss number chart to the inside of the lid. I am working one page at a time. So the page I am working is only about 25 stitches wide and 60 high. That I taped to the outside. Just on the top, bottom and side edges. That way I can mark off what I have done. I have a small tin that had MIni Altoid mints that fits into it. For my needles. I also put in a pair of nail clippers for thread clipping.The tin and clippers go in the long bin. What set up do you use? I would like to see if there is any other tips that might be useful.Tags:equipment, travel Hey there! I've got a newbie stitching question that I wanted you ask you veteran stitchers.It's time for me to buy some new needles but when I went to the store, I was stumped by all the numbers and styles of the needles. The needles I've been using were a gift from a relative who heard I was getting into stitching but I have no idea what number or style I've been using. So how do all these needles work? Should it be a certain type/number of needle for a certain count of fabric? Or do the numbers mean something else entirely?Thanks for any help you can give me! :)Tags:equipment I thought this was an interesting tutorial for floss organization, so I got permission from Kumami-san to translate it and post it here for you guys! Now, I’m not exactly proficient in Japanese so there might be a few errors (correct me if you think of something better, please!) but I think I got the gist of it. My notes are in italics where I thought things needed a little bit more clarification.( Binder floss organizationCollapse )It’s still an idea in progress so Kumami-san also includes further testing. I just paraphrased these as they're not tutorials.( Problems and solutionsCollapse )**I hope you found this as cool as I did! It seems like a nice way to keep floss for particularly large projects, especially with the symbol and color all nicely lined up. If you have any questions, I can try to ask Kumami-san, but I'm not quite as good at translating English to Japanese so it might take a day or so to get the question phrased appropriately.Thanks for looking! :)Tags:equipment, how toMood:cheerfulcheerful After completing this piece in 2007, I was gun shy of any and all metallic threads. The entire sky was just FILLED with it, and I really wanted to cry. It wasn't the normal shiny thread, but the very inexpensive plastic filaments--you know, the stuff that reminds you of a clear, opalescent Christmas tinsel? So when I discovered that one of my next projects called for a specialty thread, I began to research options that would lessen my urge to have a nervous breakdown. There's nothing worse than being in a great "stitcher's rhythm", and then having a big ugly snarl put all progress to a hault. I picked up Thread Heaven, after hearing (right here) that it was the bee's knees. It sat in my blanket chest (where I store all my stitchy/knitty stuff) for years, still in the packaging. I didn't use it until a few weeks ago, and now I don't know how I ever survived without it! The snarls and tangles from unruly thread have come to an almost screeching halt, and I find that my thread coverage is MUCH better. Everything looks more even because the thread isn't twisting with each stitch.My question is this:The tiny fibers that get stuck in the container--how do you get rid of them? I've been kind of picking them out with my fingers, but even that doesn't get them all out. Also, how long does one container usually last you? I've only picked up a needle again in mid February, and the box has a thumb print that goes just a little less than halfway down the top lip. Any tips/tricks for making it last longer?More importantly, is there a place that'll give a discount if I order a lifetime supply?Is it only available online, or can I find it in a stitchy type store (like Michaels), or preferably, a private store near Hamilton, NJ.Are there other methods that you guys like to use? I've heard that beeswax is nice, but I'm a little worried about it attracting bugs, and eventually breaking down. That's why I chose Thread Heaven in the first place.Thanks in advance!Tags:equipment, how to, recommendationsLocation:Loafing around the houseMood:pensivepensiveMusic:Gone with the Wind ok, so i'm stitching 2 over 2 on linen tonight on a gift for a friend of mine, and i noticed something: stitching on linen works better for me if i use a sharp instead of a blunt needle. how about the rest of you? stitch with sharps on linen, blunts on aida? other way around? what works for you?-bs, noodling the details tonight...Tags:equipment *waves* still here, the living part remains to be debated ^_~Unfortunately I think it's safe to say that I won't get my pattern of my Ome Jan done in time for his birthday, but as my cousin has told me that isn't important, I'm only a little disappointed. My brain is a strange place, but I have cookies! I mean ( pictures!Collapse )That's all for now.Tags:equipment, wipMood:draineddrained I'd like to make a stitched Ariel (from The Little Mermaid) for my goddaughter to frame and use as an ornament on her Christmas tree. I have found her favorite image of Ariel online, and I tried to find a kit or a pattern that had it or something similar, but either the patterns were all too big to be a Christmas ornament, or they just didn't look anything like the image she likes. I also tried saving the picture and getting a pattern from knitpro, but the image came out REALLY blurry, and being that I don't remember my images coming out this blurry in knitpro before (it has been YEARS since I used it last though), it concerned me.This is BY FAR not something I need to start today, but I'd like to start looking for the pattern even if I can't begin it right away due to other WIPs. Any suggestions?Tags:equipment, how to, recommendations, to-do listLocation:Villa Rica, GAMood:confusedconfusedMusic:Not Fair by Lily Allen I'm in the market for a tabletop stand. Hoping I can speed my stitching up by using both hands. I usually stitch at my desk, so I don't need a floor stand, and a lap stand doesn't seem like it would work in an office style chair.Here's the one I'm looking at. Tomorrow Treasure's Oak Lap Stand from American Dream Products (also known as EZ Stitch.. I think? I can't figure these guys out.) Even though it says lap stand, it looks like it'd be perfect for a tabletop. I have the scroll frame like this already, so I know I like that part of it, at least. I'm really looking to spend $100 or less, and with that one.. I could buy some extra extender rods to have other sizes and still stay in that price range.But I'm open to suggestion, or opinions on that one.Now, photos of my WIP. "Earth Rise" by Lorrac Designs..( The last time you saw it, it looked like this..Collapse ) **( Now, it looks like this.Collapse )I started searching for the design to show you what the FO will look like, but apparently Lorrac Designs no longer exists! And they had a solar system design I wanted to do as well, so I have to go to my LNS soon (oh noes ;) to see if they still have the pattern in stock. It's kind of embarrassing to go, though, cause they always remember me and ask what I'm stitching, and it's always the same thing. I'm a terribly slow stitcher, as I switch back and forth between cross-stitching and knitting, but I'll finish this one day.Tags:equipment, wip I have an American Dreams/E-Z Stitch lap stand scroll frame that I like just fine, but I'm going to need longer scroll bars for my next project, and I was wondering if I should switch from the no-baste velcro system to a baste system with webbing. I had a lot of difficulty getting the Velcro stuck to my fabric evenly and I'm still really not happy about the horizontal tension; I don't stitch with the fabric incredibly tight, but I'd still like something tidier for my next project. Is attaching the fabric onto the webbing doable by hand, say with a lot of pins holding everything straight and in place? Thoughts from people who've done this before?Thanks.Tags:equipment It's been another slow stitching period for me [_or at least it doesn't look like I've accomplished much ^_~_]But, since my dad replaced the clamp on my stitching stand ( picture behind cutCollapse ) I'm back to working on Whiskers now [_obviously ^_~_] Originally I'd shifted the pattern on the frame so that I could complete the outside edge. I wanted to feel like that part at least was done [_I long ago stopped asking my brain why it wants to do things a certain. It's better to just humor the insane_] But in the end I'm just kinda doing whatever. At present finishing the stitching that outlines Whiskers tail.Tags:equipment, wipMood:blankblank Thanks to everyone who responded to my post last night [_and to everyone that might of responded but saw their suggestion already there ^_^_]It was a huge relief to know that this isn't an uncommon problem.( Whiskers back on the frameCollapse )**I'm planning to also send the clamps through the dishwasher, 'cause I don't think it would hurt to try and heat shrink them back a little. So far so good though using the extra fabric!Thanks again!(pw)^2Tags:equipment, wipMood:thankfulthankful To those of you who have used Q-snap frames longer than I [_I'm sure that's most if not all_]Have any of you come across the problem of frame not gripping the fabric tight enough? I noticed that you can buy replacement parts for them. Will the clamps wear out? Or is this a unique problem only to me?[_I realize my Q-snap frame probably sees more wear and tear faster than the average ^_~_]Many thanks!(pw)^2Tags:equipmentMood:aggravatedaggravated As much as I love stitching on linen [_figured once I had completed the patterns that I'm stitching on Aida I wouldn't go back_] I think I'm going to try and keep at least one pattern on the go that's on Aida.It's a wonderful break from the tiny stitches on 28ct.Oh and my lighting problem has been solved! **( Easily amused...remember?Collapse )Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!Tags:equipmentMood:pleasedpleased I keep meaning to mention how the Spiral Eye Needle's been working for me, now that I've used it on more than just Aida. I've stitched on 28ct eavenweave, Joblan [_is evenweave just a general name? so Joblan would count? or something separate?_] 28ct and 32ct Linen.It doesn't seem to matter what sort of fabric you use, these needles don't damage the fabric. The occasional trouble I had with the eye of the needle catching on an earlier stitch hasn't been a problem ^_^ I realize these needles still might not be most people's cup of tea but if you were worried about using them on finer fabrics I don't think you need to be concerned.( And an update pictureCollapse )Oh one other thing. I recently discovered that I can check how many skeins of a specific color one of the patterns I create will take. So if I've made you a pattern and haven't already given you that information please contact me and I'll get that too you.Tags:equipment, wipMood:blahblah I thought some of you might like to know a little more about the new stitching frame I got called Grip-n-Stitch. I hadn't actually really worked with it when I posted pictures as I was still preoccupied with getting a good start on the Sakura pattern.I spent yesterday working on Whiskers and I have to say I'm thrilled. This frame is incredibly light and unlike with Q-snaps the fabric can't loose tension because it's the little teeth and not friction that's holding it in place.The overall size of the frame is adjustable, although some people might find it annoying having to put together the pieces that they need. Also I don't think you'd be able to adjust the frame on a pattern that was actually larger than the entire frame, as I wouldn't want to be putting those teeth through my patterns. But again it can be adjusted 56" [_external measurement_] is as bing as this frame can go.I found a site that listed the pros and cons of a lot of stitching frames, I believe the only cons for Grip-n-Stitch was that it came with many small pieces and took time to assemble, but those aren't detractors for me.Tags:equipmentMood:ecstaticecstatic It's me again!As you know I received a Q-snap frame from my friend for Christmas and I'm very happy with it however I noticed that after only a couple of days using it to stitch my elbow began aching this morning rather pointedly. My left wrist doesn't like my cross-stitching but while I can put a brace on my wrist to keep it from moving I can't easily do that with my elbow.( Inventions are born out of necessityCollapse )This makes for happy feet and will hopefully mean that I can continue stitching for a long time.Tags:equipmentMood:excitedexcited I hope this is okay, if not please let me know I'll I'll take it down immediately.I don't know how many of you have been annoyed by the plating wearing off the needles you're working with. I'd figure not too many, because I'm hyper aware of touch and the worn away part of my needle feels different from the rest [_which I've been told by my family I'm the only one who can feel the difference_]. On a single pattern I could end up going through 3 to 5 needles.So I went looking for a needle that was simply stainless steel no plating, this is what I found( Spiral Eye NeedlesCollapse )**Tags:equipment, online storesMood:cheerfulcheerfulMusic:We Three Kings - Jazz version Hi all,a while ago my lns gave me a list of about 8 DMC thread colours that had either been retired or given new numbers.I can't for the life of me find that list and am trying to figure out why a chart is calling for a number, that ISN'T on my DMC mini checklist.The checklist is fairly new, it was printed last year and lists all the light effects etc.The chart is about 4 years old and calls for 971 which isn't on my card, but 970 is.Does anyone have that list of numbers, or a website that does? Thanks. :)Tags:equipment, floss conversionMood:contemplativecontemplative I have a question! I've been perusing some old stitching books, and some of them recommend using curved surgical needles as an alternative to the standard 'up and down' motions of sewing. I don't have any issues, per se, with the standard method of stitching, but I'm curious if anybody else has heard of this method or uses it themselves. What do you think of it?If any of you do- where do you recommend finding blunt-tipped surgical needles? I've found a lot of sharp-tipped ones, and mentions of blunt-tipped ones, but ....?Tags:equipment Has anyone else used John James needles? I just had two break on me - the eyes snapped right through! It's possible that I just had some bad luck and happened to get a dud pack of needles, but I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar experience.I've still been stitching away, although I haven't posted any WIPs for way way too long. *shame* I've got one almost done, though, so I'll post when it's finished!Tags:equipmentMood:busy So the other day I bought Silent Flight by Dimensions to do for my fiance. I just happen to have a piece of evenweave lying around (the kit comes with aida of course). The aida is 18 count. The evenweave is 25 count. The design size for the aida will be 16"x11", and that's on 18 countso what will the size for the 25 count evenweave be?Thank you ahead of time, I don't know what the conversion formula would be.
