No, I didn't. I figured I was just stuck with it.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Has anyone had any dealing with this type of aida fabric?

"Wichelt aida fabric"

Is it good quality??

Gosh, I don't know any small children or any adults who would like to do cross stitching.

Gosh I wish that hadn't happened to me.
Maybe I could put it up for sale on ebay at a large discount.
IF I could figure out how to do that.

I ordered some aida fabric online and I mistakenly ordered 8 count and I wanted 14 count. I do NOT know how that happened but I was surely dissappointed when I opened the package. I have no idea what to do with an 8 count fabric. I thought 11 count was big.......8 count is huge. Does anyone have any...

I used to make some of my own frames. {I do a little woodworking, also.}
So if you could find a local woodworker they could probably make you a frame at a reasonable cost to fit your needlework piece exactly to your specifications.

I have a project going with DMC Light Effects in the pattern. I hated it.......but all the stitiches are done now that it called for, so I'm finished with it. It split, frayed, difficult to get thru the material.....doesn't lie flat like regular floss, I just generally did not like working with it, ...

I was going to say that I noticed a variation in tensions on my owls project, but I think that's because I held it rather than use a frame/hoop. Funnily enough, I also thought I noticed a difference in tension depending on the time of day I stitched ... but maybe that was more my imagination. :oops...

That is just gorgeous!

I hope mine turns out half as good as koko's.
This is the first one I've ever done so I hope
the recipent won't be dissappointed.

I don't have mine done but I am working on it.
I see that several already have theirs done but the slow ones like myself do have until 2-27 don't we?

Wow, it looks like the economy is affecting everyone, not just us in the USA. My state has recently posted that we are to expect budget cuts, also. They are able to move some of that around by eliminating positions that are not filled and get rid of some of the cuts like that, but some branches of o...

I love the one about the pussy cat gone to look at the Queen!
That is adorable.

I've done some cross stitching in my days, but NOT alot. I know not as much as most of you on here. HOWever....I DO have some projects in progress. I have the Amazing Grace, I've already mentioned that on here in one of my first threads, I think, a couple of small projects and I actually found somet...

Oh, okay, I see.
Well, I'll be looking forward to it, then.

I have looked and looked for the thread to sign up for it, but can't find it.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Countess Cross Every Stitch ...
sounds just like me.....I am so particular.

But you can save it to be passed down as an heirloom when he is married and having a family. It may go into hiding for a few years until then, but he will appreciate it when he's older and has those little ones of his own.

Yes, I received some goodies today! I received a booklet from craftymathemetician....{hope I spelled that right, crafty!} Some really cute welcome sayings for cross stitching. And.....I received my order from Hersherner's! Lots of floss I had ordered, and a thing to park your needles on. Still looki...

My BF had an email from Microsoft asking her to update her profile. She should have known better but did it. They took over her hotmail account and changed her pasword. Sent her contacts emails stating that she was stuck in the UK (London) on business and was robbed of all her documents and money a...

I can't print the word I use for them.....it starts with a capitol A, though.
