Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Try theartofstitch.com for amazing art designed into easy to stitch cross stitch designs.

What I do is add the same or similar shade of Kreinik Blending Filament to full cross stitches for a particular design. Maybe just choose a spot or a shade per kit, too much and it becomes a glitter fest. just to add a little shine to your masterpiece.

This is one of my favourites.But being a Dimensions it will properly be a coloured chart so i will never get to do it :(

Now I feel like adding Madeira to my shop! Are they better than DMC? Ive just added DMC threads and soon Kreinik as well. Im sooo checking Madeira's website rite now

I'm still iffy on adding Dinky Dyes, a little pricey and I have no clue how widely used are they.

hehe good to know im not the only one! I usually sell my pieces except a few like Guardian of the sea, and English Valley Cottage which are up on my wall.

ok, is there anyone else aside from me who is in love with this kit from Dimensions!? oh my god, the first time I saw it, I was heads over heels. The colors are perfection. I get bored when there's too much of one color in a pattern like white.

I'm doing summer stroll rite now, and I'm so bored ...

I saw one posting once for a pashmina scarf, it was only 3.50 usd. Guess how much the postage was from China to Singapore. 20 usd. this is how some ebay sellers save on posting fees. coz there are no fees on shipping fees, only on the item price. so low on item price and high on shipping fees.

Hi all,

need some help. Currently my online store has cross stitch supplies, needlepoint, disney kits which im super proud of and books.

I feel like adding kids crafts such as Crayola, jigsaw puzzles, Paint, clay...it doesnt really mesh with The Art of Stitch concept but its so tempting. Is this ...
