Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Right, so I just went to see if I could create a Gmail account, to see if there is somewhere where it says something about a mobile number, and nothing, I don't see it anyhwhere.So, I'm guessing it may have something to do with the country...

Is that from Blogger of Google? Because, that's odd, I just created a blog, and nowhere did it ask for a mobile number. Just think, not everyone has one, so it would be ridiculous to demand one for creating a blog. Maybe it has something to do with each country? I dunno... ETA: sorry, I just read th...

I agree with what you said, about going to look in the shops, and having someone do a demonstration for you on a model you could be interested in. Don't let them try to convince you into something you don't want. I, myself, have a rather basic straight and zig-zag stitch Brother sewing machine, alth...

.. and the lower thread by a small screw on the little round thing into which you put the bobbin. When I try pulling the thread from the lower bobbin, it doesn't come easy... And I put it in the only way I can see to do it. Well, will let you know how it works out :) Give that screw a tiny twist to...

My blog is in my signature, for anyone interested. I usually post once or twice a week, depending on what I have on hand.

Glad to know I was able to help.

I use Blogger, too, and yes, although I have it set to english, it always goes to spanish. That's something we have to put with, because of the country we live in and the way the internet provider is set up. You will get used to it! Remember, when you make changes, you must always click on submit, o...

LOL:::
considering neither actually exist, I guess you can paint them anyway you want. (No offence meant to anyone)

Very nice, seems like you'll be in cross stitching paradise soon!
(BTW, I wanted to leave a comment on your blog, but was unable to. )

There was a thread where everyone put their blog address, but if you're interested, mine is in my signature.

Gorgeous, well done on starting again. Good luck!

I can wait, no problem. It's better I see what they're like before I make a decision.
Thanks for the offer.

Wow! Lucky you! Have a great time looking through your magazines

Would you have a photo or image of the following, please? I could swap with DMC floss, or Anchor (made in Brazil), or crocheted doily or bookmark. Let me know.
Winter Sampler with beads, charms, Algerian Eyes
One Snowy Night - Xmas scene with Robin and his stocking
Rocking Horse - Maria Diaz

Thanks!

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day.

from just reading what you wrote, it looks like you are decreasing the rows to make it smaller (maybe it's the toe?) and that last row are just htr into each st from the previous row, and then you fasten off. hope this makes sense. Sorry, I don't have the magazine nor have I ever heard of it, I'm ju...

Everything is gorgeous, well done!

There's a group for cross stitchers on Ravelry, although a small one.

I heard about the earthquake yesterday, and I'm glad to read that you're all OK,I know what it feels like.

I agree with Angel, and if at all possible, try to compare the colours between the brands. There are some colours that do not come out exactly the same. (I have both Anchor and DMC, plus those shade cards).
