It's been over a year, but here's an update! I'm almost finished!

Image

Just the upper left section to go. I've had to stop for the last few months because a couple of my designs are going into a magazine this year and I've been frantically stitching them up to be photographed. So this has been temporarily pushed to one side. However, I want to enter it into an exhibition on 1 April, so I've got to get my skates on!

I'm a little worried about the creasing which seems to be visible between each section I've stitched (you can see a line across the middle, which is the only red tacking I've removed so far). I've started a thread about it here: http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... =3&t=12163" target="_blank" target="_blank. All suggestions are appreciated.

Very beautiful! :wub: Sorry I don't have any tips to take the creases out. I'm sure others here can be of more help. Best of luck in the competition!

Wow, that looks amazing. As for the creases I think once you've finished and you wash it it'll be sorted out

:shock: I am very impressed. This design is quite stunning! I'm sure once you give a good wash the stitched will sort themselves out better and the lines won't be noticable

Hello, just step in. :wink:

Wow, 500x500 stitches, a large project indeed.
Did you say, you use PM Stitch Creator, by STOIK ?
I do have a project using this software to create the pattern, and I really loved it.
Quite much confetti, but it really create a stunning result.

And I can see from your last progress, yours is really great. :wub:
I believe, you'll be proud for it.
Keep on.
