My tips and tricks are useful to brand new stitchers and includes some tips for you even if you’ve been stitching for awhile! You can get it free in my Ko-fi shop, link in the comments.

If you’ve seen my DMC color chart patterns, then you probably understand this one was a long time coming. The pattern will be posted soon! (This is not endorsed by DMC, they’re just my go-to thread) #crossstitch

Gotcha! I use PCstitch to design

Oh! What is MobiStitch?

And finally, to my interpretation, the waning and waxing crescents in the artwork are not correct, so I modified those.

Wheel of the Year ~ Counted cross stitch from Paine Free Crafts, based on original art by Brigid Ashwood. This chart is 574 x 575 stitches and uses 80 DMC colours.

Brigid removed her design from HAED (check Reddit if you don’t know about the HAED hubbub) but has this pattern with Paine Free Crafts now - painefreecrafts.com/product/whee...

Find Brigid Ashwoods beautiful work on Instagram, her website, and Facebook

I was so excited to find a markup app for cross stitch on iOS. Have you tried Markup R-XP? I know many fellow stitchers use Pattern Keeper - some have non-iOS devices just for that purpose.

Stamped cross stitch fabric partially completed: subject is a tree of life in a circle

Progress on the first stamped cross stitch project I’ve done. This was a great way to still be able to stitch with my brain turned off.

I’ll put the link in the comments

I love these! I’ve done several of them 😍

Band samplers in general may seem more cohesive, and this is a negative space band sampler.

You’ll see historical samplers were done to show off different types of stitches, and so weren’t meant to be symmetrical at all.

Today’s samplers are often somewhere in between.

The colors look amazing!

I’ve seen some from caterpillar cross stitch, and I think some pattern based ones from other makers

I love the negative space in LDS patterns!

Agree! It’s just that bit smaller than 14 ct and if you like that look, it’s still easy to work with

Be aware that patterns will come out different sizes on different count cloth

You can find rolls in 14 to 18 ct at Michael’s if that is close to you. Online has more brands and counts and fabrics, like jobalan. I use 123stitch and everythingcrossstitch

Thanks! I believe I’ve requested to be added to the designer feed.

Hi! I’m Bailey, the cross stitch designer behind Sew Marie Studio.

I’ve migrated here from meta platforms, and am excited to dive in and re-engage with the stitching community.

Wash your hands was one of my earliest patterns, and along with my self-care bingo SAL remains one of my customer favs

Oooooh! This feels really luxurious

#crossstitch #stitchsky help me find more cross stitch pattern makers!

I'm trying to get a good feed together for designers so it's easier to find new patterns. Comment and repost is the best way to get added.

I'm manually approving additions so we keep out the bot/AI sludge.
