Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi I'm very new to cross stitching even though I'm 51, so please bear with me while I try your patience by asking such questions that may irritate you. Thank you

Hello and welcome to the forum!! I love your name---fixing to watch the movie by that same name in a few days!! And we love trying to help out new stitchers, so do feel free to ask away

Welcome
Ask as many questions as you need, we are here to help!

Welcome to the forum from South Carolina and welcome to cross stitching, a wonderful hobby. Don't be afraid to ask any questions here. Someone here will either know the answer or know where to go to find the answer. If no one is available (and someone usually is around since we cover most time zones, I think) you can always check the Tips and Tricks section which has a link to the Glossary. I refer to the glossary often because I can't always remember the anagrams that we use. I stitched for over 20 years before joining the forum, and have learned so many new things and am learning new things all the time.
Looking forward to getting to know you.

Carole

Welcome from hot humid wet SE Queensland Australia.
Questions are always welcome here and there are so many talented people ready to give advice.
Be warned though.Cross stitch is an addiction.

Welcome from me too in hot and sticky Brisbane, can we swop temperatures please.

Great that you have found cross stitching and as has already been said it is an addiction, and a lovely one at that.

Welcome to the forum!

I can't imagine that you could irritate us by asking newbie questions. I think you'll find that this is a helpful group, so ask away.

Hello from snowy Colorado and welcome to the forum...and to the wonderful hobby of cross stitching. If you have questions, ask away without any fear of trying anyone's patience here. We were all new at some point, and even those of us who have been stitching for decades (me) are still finding new techniques.

Welcome from the West of Scotland! The only irritating question is the one never asked.

Welcome from Italy!

Oh WOW! What a wonderful welcome! Thank you so much and people from all over the globe! fantastic. Can't wait to dive in.

Hello & welcome to this friendly forum. No one minds you asking questions, the people on here have been very helpful to me. Look forward to seeing your projects either as WIP or finished items

Welcome to the forum. It's a friendly place full of warm fuzzies, encouragement, and the enabling of our stitchy addiction.

I love the name you've chosen. If it means you're a Disney fan, well, you can guess where my name comes from.

Welcome from Long Island, NY! This is the most wonderful place for a newbie! I just started stitching last December at the age of 48. Every question I have asked has been answered with no sign of irritation. I have received advice, encouragement, and warm congratulations on my minor achievements. I do recommend reading through the Tips and Tricks and especially the thread titled Suggestions for a Newbie. I can't tell how much I learned from that thread alone.

Enjoy your new hobby, and do share your work!
