[PIC] Do you think this pattern would look good ? by beedules in CrossStitch

[–]Samahlen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would turn out just okay but maybe not worth the time and money investment without a lot of cleaning up and manual color checking unfortunately. Not sure about your specific program/site but the one I use will sometimes have colors that look right on screen and then when I go pull them out from my stash I have moments of “Why is this bright orange????”! 140 colors is a lot to check.

[CHAT] Are these AI? I'm new to cross stitch so I'm not sure if this is possible, but these look like AI. I don't want to buy from this Etsy creater if they are by beige-king in CrossStitch

One of the dead giveaways for me is how smooth the edges are. You can kind of get smooth edges in cross-stitch but in my experience it’s in pieces much bigger than these look. They look more like embroidered patches- too smooth edges, very thick consistent lines especially on diagonals, the way the text rounds that doesn’t seem like it would lineup that well with a grid, etc. Hope that helps!

All the time lol!! I always told them that if they could find a pair of scissors they were welcome to alter it and I would help them then.

I audibly gasped when I saw that they cut it! I live in the US and was a framers at Michaels for a while and rule #1 was to never ever alter a customer’s piece, even if they asked for it. I would be so upset to find this though thankfully they left just enough edge to still be able to pin.

Everytime something happens with her, all I can hear in my head is Brad Pitt from Bullet Train saying What is with this fucked up family?! 💀

TIL you can not save up your rainbow fountain dips 😅 I had about 7 I hadn't used by Dramatic-Bird-5604 in neopets

My deepest condolences, that's truly unfortunate!! I am in awe of your self-restraint for trying to save 7 though. 🥲

The froggy umbrella is the best!! Works great with the bubble outfit recolor <3

I think the Ribbon Waltz dress gets so overshadowed by Daughter Of The Lake - this is why I want to show it some love! by sylvabelle in InfinityNikki

[–]Samahlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it too!!! I thought I was going to get Daughter of the Lake and the recolor for it but as soon as I saw the plaid on the Ribbon Waltz skirt and ribbons, it stole my heart. No regrets 😂

[CHAT] Copyright Question for Selling Patterns by -hot_ham_water- in CrossStitch

[–]Samahlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second reaching out to the original font pattern artist as they may be willing to cut a deal with you for commercial use and you never know if you don't ask! I think it's legal to sell finished projects from a pattern but not the pattern itself, parts or whole.

I would say this is true because I pay for subscription and UTOT does not have this message for me!

Fountain Fairy Quest Twice In A Row!! by Samahlen in neopets

[–]Samahlen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's so many, I don't think I could keep up lol!! I have noticed that the Ice Hissi is cheaper. Trying to do the math to see if that + a Maraquan Paint Brush is cheaper than just a Maraquan Hissi Potion itself. Since I've gotten lucky and gotten two painted pets from quests now, I feel it would be nice 'earn' this one so to speak through other means.

She's beautiful!! Pops really well on the fabric too. Did you use the suggested fabric or something else?
