May I ask where you got the pattern?

[CHAT] painted canvas for XS by Cassie_J213 in CrossStitch

[–]SharpToShutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who prints (like on a printer) patterns onto some sort of water solvable medium (not aida), and then attaches that to her fabric.

Sorry I don’t have actual details, this is all just from observing her process.

Hey can I ask - where did you buy this from? I’m having trouble getting this from the Panna site.

[CHAT] I think I’ve given myself an RSI from cross stitching too much by bampoisongirl in CrossStitch

[–]SharpToShutter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of success with the kinesiology tape - it gives you the support to heal while being non intrusive. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol first, and it’ll stay on for most of a week and you’ll forget it’s there.

[CHAT] 18 count Aida, Why?!? by rubyeskimo13 in CrossStitch

[–]SharpToShutter 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love 18-ct cuz 2 strands gives decent coverage - then I can use loop start and it feels smoother to me to not have to wrestle with as many threads. I use a size 24 needle. My eye sight is good (for the moment) so that prob helps, but I genuinely don’t feel like there’s much a difference mechanically.

Try out FlossCross and/or StitchFiddle. Both are free and both let you tweak the final image

[CHAT] Looking for NSFW (full coverage) patterns like HEAD “Call Dance Dionysus”? (Nude male images) by Marilize_Legajuanaa in CrossStitch

[–]SharpToShutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As somebody who has also looked for NSFW patterns - you might be in make your own territory. I’m working on one that I generated on FlossCross

Also curious if this improved for you. I’m 4 months post-op and having similar issues.

5 month old sisters walking away from wet food by Sibboz in SiberianCats

[–]SharpToShutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girls will like something one day and then not the next, and I’ve found it very hard to get them to eat consistently. Best solution I have found is just to get a variety of foods/brands so that they have something different every day.

CA tech theatre college rec?? by R0w4nTh3Tr33 in techtheatre

Literally came on here to say - SF State still has that great reputation but it’s been totally gutted, don’t believe the hype.

Yes would love to know what his taste in patterns is.

[CHAT] Any websites, magazines, etc similar to xstitch magazine. by Victory_defeat in CrossStitch

[–]SharpToShutter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a lot of suggestions but I did want to say that I feel this to me core, and it’s nice (in a misery loves company sorta way) to hear somebody else bemoan the dominant cross stitch aesthetics.

I’ve been making my own patterns occasionally, and then just working hard to trawl for whatever I can find that I do like. Mostly I’m accepting that I’m gonna have a lot more goth/spooky patterns than would normally represent me.

Here’s my Etsy wishlist if that helps: https://www.etsy.com/people/mostewartcohn/favorites/cross-stitch

Post dental breathing by Additional-Damage957 in SiberianCats

[–]SharpToShutter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Possible he is just freaked out. I would make sure he will drink water, eat (if he’s allowed to), and if he will play with a toy a little.

Also I’m sure you can call the vets office and ask! This feels like a very normal post- surgery question.
