Oooh, I'll enjoy those!!! Thank you!
Don't suppose there is one for dummies who need to learn to use a cross stitch program is there?
I've downloaded a few demo's and it might as well be on Rocket science for all the sense it makes to me
*Goes to see if she can find any*

stitching AND painting? oh my goodness!

not sure if I want to open that can of worms! lol

[coffee_freak]

ohh it looks easy! i'm thinking trying it..
basically you backstitch the design..only certain things would work I assume..
then you use watercolor paints to paint it in..like a coloring book...

[charmagne_capalad]

Thanks for sharing! I like the stitch and paint technique...might try it one of these days....I actually saw something like this before...it's a seascape painted in watercolor with some xstitching in it! It's wonderful! It's a book I just can't remember the title of the book... But I do remember not being able to buy it because of the price..it's priced so high!

A french knot demo! Awesome! I've never been able to figure out french knots before, the picture instructions never seem to make sense...

[AnimaValida]

Oh, can you post a link for the French knot demo?

[Kute Kitty]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul8XT72o ... re=related" target="_blank - it's in the first post - it's brief, but immediately I can see where I've been going wrong!

[AnimaValida]

Oh, I must have missed it up there! Thansk for the re-post. I've always had trouble with French knots and I'm finishing up a kit that has A LOT of them all over the place! I've put off finishing it becasue of it. Thanks again!

[Jess03]

I remember watching that french knot demo ages ago. Its a brilliant one and was the one that actually helped me conquer the little annoyances

[godzoned]

so glad those links are helping people. I too picked up some bits and pieces even from the basic ones listed above. Amaizing what you don't know when you go back to basics. lol

Godzone I don't want to loose these wonderful, video helps. I am going to copy the links into the Newbie Suggestions Thread. I want to keep them up at the top of the section. Actually I think I will give it its own thread and call it. Video Helpers.
