I have around 50 free charts I have downloaded....not all of them are the best though...but here are some you might like http://cross-stitch-wor...

Re: Colours help!!!

Is this a full kit you are stitching? It should have all the colors that are listed for the pattern. Are you saying they didn't include all of them? Or maybe just they are so similar that you can't tell them apart? If the latter is the case, i would suggest trying to view them under a couple differe...

Re: Does this Haed pattern really......??

I would just like to add, you mentioned about making a few mistakes in your bear and gave up on it. We all make these mistakes. Depending on the project, you can hardly ever notice and most of us just leave it in. I have made about a dozen mistakes in my current one, but you can't see them. Especial...

Re: When/where do you stitch?

I don't have a set time of day or however long set time to stitch. I have been working on looking for a good spot to stitch lately and it seems in my bedroom on the bed is the most comfortable spot. The downside is there is no tv in there and no one to talk to. I stitch when I think about it and hav...
