I've checked all the stickies and I can't seem to find the link I'm looking for. I sent a couple pieces of fabric and some floss to a friend of mine. I'm going to attempt teaching her cross stitch over the computer.
There was a wonderful link with stitch-by-stitch instructions, with computerized photos. This link also showed (in dotted lines) where to take the thread in the back as well as on the front. Can any of you help me? I've been looking through all kinds of online links and can't find the 1 page I'm searching for!

Re: Searching for Tutorial link...
Heres one from the Ellen Maurer Stroh site
http://www.maurer-stroh.com/tutorial/tut_diagram.html" target="_blank
It shows all sorts of stitches but her diagrams use evenweave fabric.. so if you sent your friend aida to play with, she might get confused with the extra hole in the middle.
I'll keep looking for one that uses aida. The stitch diagrams on the DMC website are a bit lacking..

Yes, I sent her aida, I thought that would be easier to start her with. I still can't find the one site I'm looking for...

No, but I like that one!
I'm starting to think it was something Mabel posted on here.
Mabel, did you ever post a tutorial using a red/rust as the thread color? For some reason that's what sticks out in my mind.

It’s not not IF you will recover but WHEN you will.
You can NEVER have too many cross stitch patterns!

Yes, I am sure Mabel posted something like that and not so long ago it has surfaced in a question again.
