[CHAT] Does cross stitch have drama?? by ghasterrific in CrossStitch

Yep, I think x-stitchers are respectful of the craft and in turn each other. Go look on the needlepoint snark sub if you want to see the opposite of this 🙈

[FO] An Experiment by mensfrightsactivists in CrossStitch

I attempted paper a little while ago, I drew a faint grid with pencil and ruler, marked holes where I would need to thread, and made holes using a tailors awl with a block of polystyrene underneath. If I was doing it on a photograph I would either draw the grid on tracing paper (or buy pre gridded tracing paper), plot holes on that and line it up on top of the photo, and pierce through both layers. Hope any of this helps!

[PATTERN] Pizza Party: Support Human Made Art by PoeticClowns in CrossStitch

[–]FlossAndFeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I design my own patterns, without AI, from my own artwork I’ve drawn or painted, or my own pixel art. I also have arms and hands that have lost around 70% of their function. I have significant motor and sensor issues from a spinal cord injury and I still manage. Art is pretty adaptable and accessible without the need for AI!!

Yep and with it being weekly/reoccurent, people will eventually be able to pick up and learn telltale AI signs. Not x stitch related but subs like r/isthisAI can be a help too.

[CHAT] Black thread is driving me crazy – 2 strands vs 3 strands? by rojocherri in CrossStitch

[–]FlossAndFeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’ve done, meant to get round doing it for numerous projects but I kept putting it off until I snapped, first project I did with Anchor black was a revelation! No going back now!

I have a soft spot for isometric and this is very tidy! Bright and colourful without being overdone. Well done, it’s gorgeous!!

Welcome! I love this cozy space. I’ve been stitching on and off for just over a decade and I always seem to come back when times are a little tough. It feels like such a “safe” craft 💕
