Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I am looking to buy a pattern from mystitch. You have to download the patterns. I have bought anything from them. I am working from my sons tablet. Do i have to print at that time or is it stored in the web site.

do you prefer to bead as you go or after your cross stitches are completed?

Here is the information on the top of the pattern. Hope it helps!

I am doing the Fly Butterfly pattern. I doesn't look like it will be all that difficult so hopefully I can finish it in a lot less time than some of the others charts I looked at. How much material should i leave around the sides if I decide to start in the corner? Thanks for all the help!!

I apoligize if this is already been mentioned somewhere else. I am going to start a haed project soon. I got the pattern online and the chart is 4 pages long. I have cross stitched for years, but I have always started in the center of the pattern. Recently for another indepth pattern it said to star...

Heather, I love the ballerinas (spelling?)....They are gorgeous and what senitmential they have.

My favorite piece was one I did back in the early 90's. I can't remember the name of the pattern, but it was a Paula Vaughan piece. It had 2 little girls playing dress up. At that time it was the most difficult pattern I had ever stitched. I changed the hair color on the little girls to match the co...

Hello everyone. My name is Paula. I have been cross stitching for about the last 35 years, I started very young, :D I have posted some pictures of my work in the gallery. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately :wink: I didn't take pictures of any of my early work. I love to stitch and I am looking forw...

No securtity certificate problem here.

Wow! I love it. I have never been courageous enough to dive in to hardanger. Wish I could have gone to that class too! Great work

I love the squirrel!!

I label floss bags with the dmc # and symbol written of the outside of the bag with a sharpie. After placing the thread in the proper bags I put them on a large metal hoop, in the order of the color number, so I can turn them easily. I have an unfinished big project that had tons of colors in and I ...

The back has been bothering me for the last couple of days, so I think I'll have a couple of tylenol and a good stiff drink to wash em down. Please and Thank you!

Mystic Stitch was awesome. They emailed me a copy of the pattern immediately, so I could get to stitching, and still mailed me a hard copy as well as a free bonus pattern. I will definately order from them again.
I've wanted to order a head pattern. I think I have my next one already picked out.

I do not remember not knowing how to stitch. I was fortunate enough to know my great-grandmother. She was my babysitter until I started to school. She had arthritis and walked with crutches but was never lacking in ideas to keep me busy. Sitting on the "back porch" of her house I learned l...

Something that I have found that helps with metallic, and most other threads, is to thread your needle and run needle and thread through a dryer sheet. It takes all the static out of the thread and helps it keep from tangling so easily.

I haven't been a member of this forum, but for a very short time. I came looking for others who enjoy the art of stitching. I used to know several people that stitched, but have either lost touch with them, or they have lost touch with stitching. So, I am here looking for ideas, techniques, and new ...

My stash of thread I keep in my bedroom, so it's safe :D It is seperated into 100's, 200's, etc. (I know, not the best way, but it works for me). When I get ready to stitch a new project I bury myself in my mountains of thread and delight in picking out my floss. When each color is found a I a floss...
