AboutAngela 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 I have a needlepoint kit, but would like to transfer to cross stitch. Anyone know how or who may do it?
Answer Hello, Tracy
The only thing that came to mind is by using PC Stitch, or another cross stitch program.
It will be tedious work, but I think it can be done. You will need to try and match the colored wool from the kit to the colored embroidery floss as close as possible. Make sure that you write the floss colors down as you're doing this.
Once you have purchased the cross stitch program, and have familiarized yourself with it a bit, simply take the needlepoint pattern page, and begin manually marking the areas on the computer that you see on the needlepoint pattern. (I hope that makes sense).
That's the only way that I can think of that this can be done. Other than that, I don't know of any other way. I truly hope that this helps you.
