Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I love my cross stitch but fancy trying something different, can anybody recommend some good sites that show how to do Blackwork, but not videos as I only have dial up and they won't load properly.

Have looked on some sites but they don't really explain very well

Have a great day

That is amazing are you going to do it

I have a dodgy back and sometimes get sciatica, I was told it was from horse riding, but might also be from falling off as well

Hope you feel some pain relief soon

I know how frustrating that is as I can only get old dial up here and often there is no signal on my mobile either

Thank you

I'm organising my next project a Unicorn and am thinking of adding some silver metalic thread as backstitch in places, but don't know which one to buy.

WOW I have enough trouble negotiating the side streets with my estate car

Happy stitching and enjoy your week off

It can be confusing starting cross stitch without actually being shown and the links are very helpful and ask as many questions as you like, I've learnt a lot being with this forum, never heard of loop starting before and now use it whenever I can, it's so much easier :D and can even do pinhead star...

I've bookmarked the links and will have a proper look later when I've walked the dogs :) Luckily Mabel is barefoot, she won't let anybody lift her feet for long without a fight, she throws herself on to her knees, that's why the vet sedates her and then I have to kneel on her head to keep her down, ...

Gray would be nice, I'm either doing shades of green or shades of brown, the next project I do, will be for myself

Thinking of you, it's really horrible waiting for results, they seem to takes ages to come back. Perhaps your partner is having trouble coping as well and his comments have come out as a negative response, as Fizz says, sit down and explain to him that his comments upset you, although mine always sa...

Thanks Fizz would like the link please. I had to stop feeding her the pellets I usually buy as the vet said they were too high in fat, my husband brought 2 bags of Hi-Fi Lite down and I found a supplier of Dodson & Horrel that sell the Fibergy, this is for lami sufferers too, the vet was very in...
