Question
I have done cross stitch on pre-stamped fabric. I want to do a wedding sampler. I like the loving Doves Wedding Record, but its counted cross-stitch(5x7) Wondering if I should take the chance to do this without it printed on the fabric, it could wind up not looking right,since the fabric is blank. There is one A wedding Promise Kit(needlework embroidery) that is screen-printed. I don't know which to choose, since the first one may have tiny squares to count.Maybe the second one is easier and takes less time. Any info would be helpful. roxy1153@aol.com

Answer
Hello, Roxanne :)

If you're planning to do the counted cross stitch one, I would do it.  All patterns typically come with instructions on how to do it, and once you get the hang of it, it's extremely easy. :)  You may not want to go back to stamped cross stitch afterwards.

With regards to the ease of the projects, only you can be the judge of that.

If you need further assistance on how to get started, please don't hesitate to contact me. :)

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)
