Looking for patterns using black fabric
I'm stitching Stoney Creek's Western Jewels, which uses bright colors on black fabric, and I've realized I love working on black! Does anyone know of a site that features a lot of patterns with black fabric? THanks!

Re: Looking for patterns using black fabric
I don't know of a site that focuses on black fabric ........ but you can put almost any design on black.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: Looking for patterns using black fabric
Agree with Rose
you can put any design you like on black and change the colours

Re: Looking for patterns using black fabric
I agree that any brightly colored pattern could easily be stitched on black for a stunning effect!

Some of the fractals from Cross Stitch Collectibles look really great.

Almost all of the Dimensions Gold Miles Pinkney stuff is on black. I personally substitute black quite often because I prefer it.

Re: Looking for patterns using black fabric
Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone! I hadn't even thought of putting a pattern designed for white fabric on black fabric. Now I realize that I have several patterns that I could easily modify to work very well on black, simply by substituting brighter shades of the original colors.

"A Whole Lotta Latte" by Dimensions is worked on black Aida. I'm stitching it now. I know there are many others out there and as some have already stated, you can change to black with other patterns.

Re: Looking for patterns using black fabric
I stitched an Imaginating Noel bellpull that was charted for navy fabric onto black fabric.
I think blackwork would really pop if stitched in white on black fabric.

I did Mystical Wizards a dimensions design- see my gallery. Challenging but was doable.
