Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

It may be worth a few of you asking again if they see there are so many of you think it is wrong you can't all be wrong can you? they are usually pretty good at this too, give it a go.

Michelle's threads are lovely and she does her own charts too, for those who love silks Eileen at Thread Pickerz Silkz has just started and those are to die for too x

The best flip frame out there is Hearthside Craftworks Mark 2 stand perfect

I love huge charts, don't find them a challenge no harder than Haed or any other chart just huge so you get a fabulous piece, yes mine are GK and I started on my Forest - 1682 Winter Sunset in the Fir Forest and couldn't put it down, it was addictive and so fab to stitch,

what kind of subject do you like to stitch Annamarie? my charts are forest scenes and in the snow.

I have three GK charts they are drool worthy believe me, the quality of the charts are great, think Haed plus, and I love Haed, if you want a challenge then try one. I will buy more

I can tell you that I love mine and they came from Mabel, told a friend and she bought them too and loves them as well.

Sewandso have just released a lot of them by Candamar

Me too.

If you can tell us what it is, what fabric etc it will help?

Totally agree with everyone.

Sorry Lorna I meant to say that yes I do live in UK Scotland, and no I have never paid import tax on anything I have got from USA and two more charts arrived today with some hand dyed fabric and no extra import tax on them either.

Thanks Paula, I have never seen that wolf chart before

http://www.anitalittlestitches.com" target="_blank I have used her for that very thing and they came really quickly,

Heidi you are gonna love your Magic Guide, I swear by it and yes gridding is best especially if it is done for you. Parking once you get it is the best way to go, don't worry about which thread is which if it is parked in the right hole it is the right thread

Thanks Amanda, there is always someone here who can come up with the answer to questions. Is the black so much better than DMC and Anchor? and does that go for the other colours too, are they all thicker than Anchor?

That is great, most companies do try to help if they can, so happy your story turned out well and your little one is out of the bad books! Do send the company a photo of your finished piece to know you did appreciate them, you never know it helps to keep on the right side of them!

Can you actually buy Madeira on cones? I have looked and can't find anyone or the price either?

I guess we all have our own way, I never think of confetti stitches as such, they are just another stitch to be done as I come to them and everyone is done as I come to it because I park my threads.

Oh bless, usually an e.mail to the kit company explaining and they will send you extra threads,especially this time! do try, most of them respond.
