Alternativly, our very own Skitzzz (there are 3 z's, right?) is very reasonably priced, so I've read around here.

Re: Charts from photos
I've done a dmc stitch a photo and had skitzzz do me a chart. And i will certainly ask skitzzz to do me another one as it was excellent value and the design came out beautifully.

5 z's Diana, skitzzzzz. And yes, from what I have seen stitched from her charts, they are lovely.backafteradozenyrs wrote:Alternativly, our very own Skitzzz (there are 3 z's, right?) is very reasonably priced, so I've read around here.
I have MacStitch which is a pretty good program if you have a Mac instead of a pc. I haven't used it much though, since I discovered HAED, but every once in a while play with it. Unless you are planning on doing a lot of stitching of converted photos, it might make sense to use someone else for the ones you want.

Re: Charts from photos
I would never suggest the DMC stitch a photo I sent them a picture years back they run it through a machine do no tweaking of colors charge you way to much for poor quality and you have no recourse when it come back and you can't even use the chart. Go with quality work such as what skitzzzzz provides and be much happier.

Re: Charts from photos
Skitzzzzz is stupendous! And does a lot of work for her small charge. She's a diamond.

Re: Charts from photos
I have completed 7 charts skitzzzzz made me and I am still doing another one now and I have been over the moon with all of them. Her charts are of the highest quality! Definitley go with her. She only charges £3.50 and is so helpful. I am hooked on her charts!!

Re: Charts from photos
I agree, skitzzzzz makes some great charts. I haven't had the chance yet to kit up for the Avengers chart she made me, but it's just lovely.
I'm looking forward to working on it.
