About Angela
Expertise
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. :)

Question
thank you for taking the time and researching my a good answer to my question. i am a very experienced crosstitcher. i craft my own designs many times; however i find it almost impossible to transfer from a mural or a wall paper design to a crosstitch design. how do i do that? as i see beautiful pictures on wall papers and such and i cant transform them into a crosstitch design to do. i use engineer-square paper when i craft my own designs with a grad easy to transfer the numbers on my Aida or Damask. thank you. christianspot

Answer
Hello, Christian

The only thing that I can suggest is taking your camera, and get some very good quality pictures of the roses that you wish to create into patterns.  I know that PC Stitch has the ability to change a photo into a cross stitch pattern, however, I'm not sure if Pattern Maker has the same capability.

You can purchase PC Stitch at:  http://www.pcstitch.com

And you can purchase Pattern Maker at:  http://www.hobbyware.com/pm.htm

You can also take photos of real life roses, and then import them into the cross stitch program.

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

Sincerely,

Angela :)
