No kidding, Tia! I love my PC Stitch Pro. Just started selling my patterns on ecrater.com, but it's sure hard to get people to know where to find me. Been on ebay for quite a number of year, but the seller fees just got a bit toooo much, so I decided to change to ecrater which has no fees and you ca...

Thanks, Teresa! I will try that. I was thinking that if I make a copy of the pattern I want and make that into a PDF, I would still have my original pattern in case I find something I might need to change later. Again, thanks for the info.

Hi everybody! I use PC Stitch. Does anybody know how to turn a PC Stitch pattern file into a PDF?

You did a wonderful job on your first project. You'll probably find yourself working to to larger projects very soon!

Sounds like you are straining your eyes too much. I've had headaches from squinting to see the stitches, so I went to Walmart and got a pair of reading glasses to magnify the Aida fabric and see the holes better. I also use a high intensity daylight lamp and no more headaches.

I don't use a hoop or a scroll frame when I stitch; I use a sewing method, so I do the beads as I stitch. I just use a smaller needle so the needle goes through the bead easy enough.

I just finished two large projects 16" X 20" each. I never use a hoop or frame. I stitch in a sewing method as if you were sewing in the hem of a dress. I don't like the idea of clamping a hoop over my stitches either. Just keep you left hand first and second fingers under the fabric so yo...

When you make a mistake and have to pick out a number of stitches, some colors such as reds and blacks leave a small amount of color residue from the thread on your fabric. I call it "thread lint." I use a piece of cellophane tape and rub it over the fabric, both front and back sides, wher...

I Everybody! I have used PC Stitch since it first came out. I upgraded to PC Stitch 6 and then to Pc Stitch Pro about 5 years ago. I love this program!! I have never had any problem with the program, and it automatically updates and checks my program for the newest version of PC Stitch Pro. Floss is...

I don't think it makes any difference which method you do as long as you always cross every stitch bottom left to top right and bottom right over to top left. I do it the same as you. After you press your piece every stitch will look nicely even and beautiful.

Hi eveybody! I have found that some of the knotting comes from the fact that as we stitch some of us unknowingly turn the needle a little bit with each stitch. When your thread starts to look a bit like it's starting to curl it's time to dangle your needle. Also, I've noticed that some colors of thr...

Hi! I started cross stitching about 30 some years ago. I started when both my last child started kindergarten. My neighbor took up the hobby and I wanted to learn how to stitch. I love color so this was down my alley. I proceded to some florals and then a bit larger projects. Taught my daughter and ...
