That's coming along wonderfully. I love that design and what a novel idea stitching it shelf by shelf. Looking forward to following progress

Ooo I love that box - and I think your Resurection design would suit it well.

That's coming along well - Curl up with a Good Book is one of my favourite designs although I doubt I would have the patience to stitch it

That's such a lovely design and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Sorry to hear about your problem with the material but it's a good job you realised at this early stage.

It will be really gorgeous when you've finished it

Well done for taking the plunge ! I've been thinking about picking a design for a very long long time but still haven't done it

I think I would be comfortable starting a small floral design.....but not sure if there are any small HAEDs like that.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread - what a good idea ! ....and I just love some of those suggestions

I've a friend who would really love that turtle

I love that design - haven't seen it before. Looking following to seeing your progress

Hello I always use a size 28 for 18 count fabric

(the) Borg !

Ah - sorry missed that

Try

Tools - Pattern Properties - Display - Grid Line Settings - Bold - try 10 and colour black.

I usually set the Normal to Grey and Bold to Black

If that is not quite right just play around with those settings.

When you Export your chart to Image File you have the option to display grid lines and/or line numbers (put a tick in auto preview so see the result). Click SAVE and you can save as a .jpg

(File - Export - Image File - opens Export Pattern Box - select options required - Save Image)

Hope that ...
