Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Thank you. Regarding attachment, I did use a sewing machine and did a zigzag stitch on all the horizontal and vertical borders of all the squares. It was pretty tedious. I first pinned along all those borders, then sewed each row. You really can't see the zigzag stitching from the front, and the bac...

I've reached the top row of pages, the end is in sight! :whoop: 5 more pages to go. I'm just focusing on this one right now;...

I did wash and dry it in machines and it turned out fine. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd469/stitchnhanz/9F427F3C-3937-4A0F-A...

Interesting. So I've heard of 3D printers but could never visualize what they could do.( I could have googled it ,I suppose , but wasn't that curious). Anyway, is everything made out of the same material, a type of plastic? And is it stiff or pliable? I was only picturing paper, and thought 'what go...

As far as feeling old(er) at your children's milestones, there can also be good points. A lot of my friends became grandparents in their early 50's, and are working with many years ahead to be working yet and not much time to be able to spend with them. I just became a grandparent at 63/64 and had j...

I plan on backing this with a piece of 100% cotton flannel, sewing it over the edges of this afghan and al...

I've actually worked on it for 38 weeks, although I started working on it the beginning of 2014; it's been rotated...

I just finished a row of pages; that's 2 rows done and 3 to go. I've worked on this for 31 weeks now, it's being rota...

Thought I'd pop in since this is a totally unrelated stitching post. I just picked my daughter up from the airport; she just got done running a marathon in a game reserve in South Africa. Her goal is to run one on each continent. She's already done Asia (Great Wall of China marathon), South America ...

I have a very close friend who said she wished I could stitch 'something ' for her. I just told her that I have 12 other projects all lined up that I plan on doing first, and by my calculations, it will take about 25 years. After stating those facts, the subject got dropped, and yet I didn't exactly...

It's been awhile since I've posted an update. 16+ pages out of 42 done now. Still loving it

I was wondering about some of yours, I hadn't seen some in awhile. I have 5 on the go right now, with another one totally ready to go, but I just don't really want 6 going at the same time. These are all HAEDs, so nothing is going to be moving fast. I feel like 3 is the ideal number, maybe 4. I had ...

My daughter knew nothing about it until I brought her around to its display case at the fair. As soon as she saw it, her f...

Are you aware of the HAED rewards program? You might be able to get one of those 6 new projects for free! Carole Actually, yes, I got one of my 6 charts free due to another one I had finished this spring, and had impatiently waited until the entry time. Now however I have enough charts for my lifeti...

I actually spent a total of 18 weeks working on it, just takes awhile when rotating wi...

Beautiful stitching!! In my own thread regarding my Bridal Bouquet, you had wondered how washing/ironing the opalescent fabric would go. It went great. I washed it in lukewarm water with a couple drops of dish washing liquid , rinsed well with cool water, and laid it flat to dry. When the unstitched...

This is the bottom row of pages completed. I realized that it's pretty wide, going arm to arm on my recliner. T...

I took 5 months off to work only on my Bridal Bouquet, and I missed this one so much. I now have the lower 2 rows of pages done, 12 out of...

I'm going to have to experiment on a corner of the fabric to see how it withstands that. I'm concerned abo...
