I tend to use washable laundry pens, with acceptable results...
I've considered the fishing line method, but havent had any large projects to try it out recently

Just catching up on these projects, and find that a lot of these "mini" projects are better than my "main" ones, lol
I'll have to post some of my own recent pics....

Any chance of a pic of the Matt Smith chart??
I have a Doctor Who / Torchwood project and he would be a welcome addition...

I also did a stitch-a-star of Audrey Hepburn before too... so I think I might add Cary Grant, James Dean and John Wayne, and frame a classic/retro actors collage

Great!! Thanks for the link.

(Not the best pic in my opinion, but it's a welcome addition to my themed collection)

I'm looking for a Matt Smith (or would consider other Doctor Who designs) from the former stitch-a-star series....

I previously did a David Tenant design, and John Barrowman (Torchwood) project, and would like to add to the collection...

Loving the colours and the expressions

For the record, I've managed to find an Anchor/Disney bookmark kit on fleabay that looks suitable... I'll post a pic from home as soon as I get a chance (we don't have access to ebay here at work)

I vaguely remember doing some VERY basic cross stitch at school, using a thick plastic needle, a length of wool, and what I now know to be binka material. I really didn't see the attraction at the time.... So fast-forward thru high school, college, a few jobs, and the beginnings of a family.... my f...

I absolutely LOVE War of the Worlds - so I'll be watching this project with great interest!!

Well I've been away from stitching for quite a while, but recently relented and did an Eeyore bookmark design for one of my step-daughters... ...so now the other daughter also wants a similar design, either a bookmark, or a small wall hanging. But she prefers Piglet rather than the other Winnie Pooh...

Glad to help

STUNNING!!! I looove big cats

The other alternative may be to go over to the dark side

Once I'd tried gridding, I found it so much easier, I realise I'll never go back :wink: I use a fabric pen to grid the 10x10 squares, and on larger projects I often make a slightly larger mark at the edge of the project every 50 or 100 squares. I also occasionally mark an arrow at the centre line of...

I've used a hoop in the past for concentrating on smaller projects ... or on small sections of larger projects. But the majority of my work tends to be on scroll frames. I can't give a personal opinion of Q-Snaps because I've never used one, but from the number of positive comments already, they're ...

I LOOOVE those projects Rose.
My late father was a huge John Wayne fan, so I grew up with a lot of his films

(I was thinking of doing a John Wayne project in remembrance, but I think that seeing it hanging on the wall may still be too much for my mum to cope with)

My stash is probably 75% DMC, 20% Anchor, and 5% leftovers from kits etc. I prefer DMC because I've found that they tend to have a slightly better sheen than a similarly coloured Anchor thread. As for access to new threads, my local stash shop has the full range of DMC, and most of the range of Anch...
