Question
I want to design my own cross stitch pattern, but i have no artistic abilities, its just in my head. Where do I go and how do I go about it. Thank you

Answer
Renee,

I have designed a couple of pieces. There are software programs that can help. I would recommend checking out these sites - www.pcstitch.com or www.hobbyware.com

My only other suggestion is that to try designing it on graph paper. It is difficult to do though.

Happy Stitching and designing!
Kris
