Want to trade a chart!!!

[drrubina]

Hi fellows i have bought an online chart from a website. I am very much interesting to stitch that. But i don't have linen and all the threads here in Pakistan. Here we don't have DMC thread available. Cross stitch cloth is also of no quality. If i buy them online it will cost me almost triple or more of the real cost.
I want to trade that chart. Means whoever interested and have threads at home( new or used), can buy that chart from me online and just send the one or two threads in simple air mail. I want to make a whole kit with all your help.

I am not sure what you are really saying here, but it looks like you are thinking about sending copies of the chart to people in exchange for threads. You cannot copy a chart and sell it online to anyone as this is against copyright laws.

No, That chart is my property. I have all the instructions and details of the chart. I just want a trade to do in exchange of a chart. Not an expensive trade. chart is about $2-$3 and i want threads in exchange per download. Is not it fair.

If you did not design the chart you have only bought the right to use it yourself and do not own the copyright so cannot sell it to others.

No-one on this forum is willing to break the copyright laws.

Ok. I do follow and obey.
Now can i make a request to the forum members.
That is it possible for my fellows to send the left over threads ( which is required for that chart) in simple airmail. Means i do place the list of required threads and cloth length. And they would send it in simple airmail. Whoever have the things. one two threads etc.
Please advice.

Thanks for taking notice as the forum is very strict about the copyright laws and if anyone of us do not obey them it is a real problem for the forum.

Good luck with the project.

What do you mean by this? Postage is not that much. About £2.50 for 20 skeins of floss for Pakistan at these sites:

I don't think I would pay less if I were to send you something.

Anchor threads are made in Pakistan and just as good as DMC

[drrubina]

Oh Thanks for your comments. Yes Anchor are good. But they dont have that much range. I had tried alot to match the colors for more than 2 years. Also The Aida cloth is very much spacing. I have made many things from them . I used Aida cloth of my Mother but that quality is not available now.
Now the DMC thread cost, I must make it clear that i can buy anchor thread ( if the whole color matches) in just $3-$4 for the whole scenery. Its very cheap here. Almost 6 skeins in on dollar. But the colors does not match. So i just want who ever has such color just send me in simple mail. it would not cost any to them but i would collect the whole kit.

[drrubina]

Yes i could exchange the anchor thread if wanted but my request is simple one and two skeins per mail.

I have lots of leftover threads from charts i have finished how much is postage ??

[Reta]

It will cost the sender the postage

So you get free silks

Or if you are going to be posting in return it would be cheaper to just buy the Silks and fabric Or am i missing something

The silks from here are cheap and postage to pakistan is not bad

Those of us in the United States wouldn't necessarily be able to help you. It just costs way too much to send something to Europe.... like $5 or more for a letter! I personally would rather spend the postage $$ on more stash.... sorry.

[stitchingmae]

WOW six skeins for 1 dollar I can't get that here anchor or DMC LOL

Have you seen the conversion pages for DMC to Anchor?

Sorry I save all my leftovers in case I have another project that calls for that color.

Just to clarify, now that you've been informed you can't send out multiple copies of the chart in exchange for threads due to copyright are your asking the forum members to send you threads for nothing?

I think that is exactly what they are asking for.

[rcperryls]

That is what it sounds like to me also.

Well in that case i will keep mine then

Also the fabric.

I'm sorry but thats just dam cheeky.

Whilst I understand that for some of us it is not that easy to get the stash that you need due to where you live I don't think this is the way round it.
