Cross Stitch/Cross Stitching family crest

Question
How do I go about transferring a family crest pattern on to aida for cross stitching?  Or perhaps you can direct me to somewhere to purchase a kit for the Jackson family crest.

Answer
Hello, Christine

Unfortunately, I don't know of any kits for any family crests that are for sale.  As for transfering the family crest into a cross stitch pattern, you may need to purchase a computerized cross stitch program called PC Stitch, and then import the crest into that to create your pattern.

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
