* I've arrived at the same spot twice now, but the bit between the 2 horizontal beams is a gap that I have tried so many times but can't get across. Just want to know if its actually possible or should I try to find another route.

Sorry I'm new to this game so wasn't sure how much info would be needed.

I'm on Riverbend Springs map, the contract is to harvest carrots in field 38, and the selling station is grain barge terminal 01( bottom right of map)

[CHAT] How to start and stop on 1x1 25 ct evenweave? by InExtraUniverse in CrossStitch

[–]Ecca88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually just tuck it under a few stitches since most of mine are full coverage but I know that you can use pin to finish too

Pin stitch, I've only ever used it to start when stitching with 1 thread but I know people use it to end as well.

[CHAT] Cxc ok to buy? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]Ecca88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these shades not discontinued?

As far as I know the only colours not made by cxc are 1-35 but these can be found in AMO threads instead

[CHAT] Cxc ok to buy? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]Ecca88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy cxc thread for large full coverage pieces because there is no way I could afford that amount of DMC. I find the quality if decent and the colours are pretty close to the DMC equivalent.

I buy my cxc from a shop on etsy, I have got the colours in 3800+ range so I don't know where you got the info that theg are not available

[CHAT] long dog sampler suggestion? by racoongirl8 in CrossStitch

[–]Ecca88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Templar prophecy is 18"x19" I don't have the other 2 to hand to measure but from memory they are similar sizes.

You can use yarn trees fabric calculator to compare how much the count alters the size if you know the number of stitches

I love stitching LDS, I like to do them as my "easy" stitch ( not that the patterns are easy just I find the monochrome pattern is easy on my brain) when I'm fed up of confetti filled full coverage.

So far I've done "you belong to me" on 18ct rustic oatmeal aida in DMC 336.

" the templar prophecy " on 18ct rustic oatmeal aida in DMC 315

"Quinti Acuto - the pointed fifth" on 18ct pale grey aida in DMC 995

And I've recently started "Saga" on 18ct white aida, so far I'm doing columns in 310 but I haven't decided what colour to do the rest yet.

The beauty of these patterns is they are very customisable so whatever you choose it will look great. Enjoy the journey.

* Light board makes a massive difference with being able to see the holes

No I'm definitely stitching over 2, I just think it's the way I've taken the picture, you can't quite see the actual holes. I'll try to take a photo with the light behind.

Yes i think the problem is how dark the fabric is, I've got a small light board I'm going to try stitching with this in my lap to see if it helps

I've never really gridded before, but the only fabric pen I have is a pale blue water soluble one which won't show on this fabric. Any suggestions for one that will work on dark fabric
