Hi, I'm using metallic thread with the Heather Anne kit - Roxanne & it keeps splitting. I've invested in some thread heaven which has helped quite a bit but there's a very fine white thread that keeps seperating from the gold metallic itself. Does anyone have any other ideas to help with this? t...

I've just started stitching DMC's Black & White cat for myself, after starting off on some coasters for my family & a magnet I wanted to start something primarily for me before I start my next large project of my other half's dog. http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a419/mazzelsha/Cross%20St...

I started when I was about 19yrs old when my mum gave me a tapestry of a woman reading a book & after that I was hooked! I enjoy tapestry still but must admit that my true passion is for cross stitching & I'm starting back up again after a long break & loving every second of it. I've mad...

Lol, that's great, thx for that! Really want to do a good job on this project & was just so unsure abt the software results! Thank u so much again.

thanks again everyone for the warm welcome!
