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. :)

Cross Stitch - Help with PCStitch

Expert: Angela - 6/1/2009

Question
Can you please help me. I know nothing about cross-stitching trying to make patterns from pictures. With a picture that is wallet size. What is the best size to make your pattern. What is the best cloth size to use? What is the difference between the different cloth counts? Also if you have a 4 X 6 photo what would be the best sizes? I appreciate any and all help.

Answer
Hello again, Teena

I'll do my best to try and answer your questions better.

Cross stitching is extremely simple. As you're a beginner in this craft, I hope that these links will help you get started:

Purchase a small kit to try out first before going through the PCStitch program. If you have never cross stitched before, the kit will help you get started, and help you to understand the craft better. You can get small kits at Hobby Lobby, or Michaels, or Joann's Fabrics.

I hope this helps you further, and my sincerest apologies for not answering your questions better in the beginning.

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)
