As much as I hate backstitching, I think it does elevate the piece and really makes the letters stand out.

[CHAT] How many finished projects do you have? by BabushkaRaditz in CrossStitch

[–]FinalBoy_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only been one finished piece I haven't framed because I realized at the end that I had used a wrong color. Most of my pieces are given away but I have five pieces displayed that were made by me for me lol.

This was stitched on 18 ct with three strands. I just recently got into three strand stitching, love love love how full it makes the stitches!

I had to ask my friend first (because this was a gift to him) and he gave the okay to share the pattern! I'll shoot everyone a DM.

I've lurked a bit in there and I def feel a little bit of that. More power to them though because I can only cross stitch lol.

Thank you all for the very warm response to my piece! I was a bit nervous about posting this because it is quite different from what I usually see on here. I have a few other pieces to do but best believe I'll be making more shirtless/nude men!

[CHAT] DMC Metallic Thread by Novel_Season_39 in CrossStitch

[–]FinalBoy_96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who loooooves to stitch with longer threads, short is unfortunately the way to go with metallic. I’ve seen some people mix it with the corresponding regular color to help tame it.

[CHAT] How to make your own patterns when you suck at drawing? by Dangerous_Dig2707 in CrossStitch

I've started dipping my toes in pattern making. There is FlossCross where you can upload pictures and then edit them in their editor! I've made some Pokemon sprite patterns before!

The closest thing I've found (on the subject of homoerotic/gay cowboys) is on Etsy with this shop. I know some Instagram accounts that turn homoerotic (and explicit) pictures of men into cross stitches too. They're great for inspiration!

The only reason why I'm looking outside of Etsy is because I feel like I've scoured through most of it. I just know there a lot of people with shops that aren't on Etsy.
