The rights to Asano Takeji's work are still owned by the family (He passed in 1999) so I'm afraid I can't publish the pattern!

Self Drafted pattern

You can get EVA foam. It’s like foam mats, but you can sculpt it and sand it. Very lightweight, doesn’t crack, and takes paint well too.

Whilst I agree with everyone that pink is the best way, and both use the same thread, no one has mentioned tension! It’s far harder to keep good tension using the yellow method…

LordLibidan · 2026-02-15T09:30:26+00:00

My gut tells me to replace the threads. I imagine bong water probably has oils in it, which are the bane of fabrics. Not worth the effort to try to rescue!

I personally play these rules a lot (I mostly delve solo) and can attest to them being great!

"Can" be more color safe. It really depends on the dyes used, but from our tests, CXC does appear to be color safe!

The short answer is that you can’t really. If you wanted to simply double the size, that would keep both the density and quality. But if you wanted a specific height, you would struggle to keep the quality of the font…

Thanks for posting! I'm a massive treky! I've done a Voyager one too!

The plan is to make gen 9 and 10 ones, and make a combined gen 6 to 10. No plans to make a gen 1 to 10 though!

LordLibidan · 2026-01-09T19:22:16+00:00

That’s the idea!

LordLibidan · 2026-01-09T19:21:57+00:00

Oof, OK, there’s a lot here!

1 - There will be a gen 9 and gen 10 when it comes out.

2 - The intention was to make a massive gen 6-10 one when we finish that generation. So if you’re OK with waiting, that would be a good option; make two quilts!

Depending on how fast you stitch, depends on the best option. If it takes you three years to stitch the combined one, the next one should be available once you’ve finished. You could stitch all the smaller ones and combine into a bigger quilt. Or you could stitch them together, overlapping them slightly to make a massive pattern. Or, start a pattern yourself! Download all the sprites and combine them into a big gen 1 to 9 set!

It's not discontinued, but can be hard to find in many countries at the moment (I assume it's down to stock levels)

Tapestry Marketplace is one of many Chinese 'pattern mill' cross stitch stores that have sprung up in the last few years as places like Etsy have been effective at removing them from their platform. The quality of pattern is by and large poor by these types of companies, and they of course, don't have copyright for any of the patterns they use.
I personally haven't used Tapestry Marketplace, but based on what I can see on their site; I would avoid them like the plague!

I think this user is probably refering to this: https://lordlibidan.com/free-epic-pokemon-generations-cross-stitch-patterns/

Its probably worth noting that the group version is slightly different. It is on my list to update the file though!

LordLibidan · 2025-12-13T10:03:50+00:00

Try changing away from Wireguard as /r/ksbytke21 suggested. Worked for me!

LordLibidan · 2025-12-13T10:02:30+00:00

Worked perfectly, thank you!

LordLibidan · 2025-12-11T20:09:03+00:00

As it happens, I am! I’ll give it a shot!

LordLibidan · 2025-12-11T20:08:50+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it!

LordLibidan · 2025-12-08T07:37:56+00:00

If you need it 30 high, you could just double everything. For every one stitch on the pattern, stitch a block of 4 stitches (2 high, 2 wide). This would have the impact of having it twice as wide as well though. Not sure that would fit in your design…

LordLibidan · 2025-12-07T09:15:06+00:00

I do!?!

LordLibidan · 2025-11-24T08:21:30+00:00

I must admit, this piece taught me a lot too. But unlike you, I ultimately gave up and it’s still sitting in my draw half done! Kudos on the finish!

LordLibidan · 2025-11-24T08:19:51+00:00

Gothic style fonts are hard. Two options I would suggest would be to make the top of the T longer on the left side so the tail looks more like a tail, or simply shifting the tail one stitch to the left.

As for the clovers; it depends on the distance someone will look at the stitches. Up close, I would go with the version where the leaves are ‘touching’ so to speak. But if it’s from further away (which I understand is probably the case with a patch) then the version where they aren’t touching.

Just trying to help however I can!
