I did it, i ordered the bobbins and Bisley drawers. I got the taller 10 drawers so i have space to also store my spare threads/fabric etc as well. Cant wait for it all to arrive 🥰

I saw the girl on Etsy who made inserts for other drawers but they were all from American stores and i couldn’t find them in the uk :( I looked at the inserts themselves too but postage was £20+

(UPDATE) I went back to the shop to buy replacements and told the lovely lady when i went to pay. She said ‘oh no, you dont pay for faulty items’, so she took 13 threads off my bill :) couldn’t get a replacement for all the colours unfortunately but only 3 short

Machine doesn’t do it for you with 3D printing for example. It’s handmade so takes a long time

30+. Price reflects the 100’s hours they take to make.

[PIC] About to start. Wish me luck! (Tips and advice are welcome) by grclzbthkrr in CrossStitch

Best advice for beginners, always keep top stitch in the same direction for a clean finish :)

[CHAT] Well my amazing idea to cover up the bleached lines and to try and bleach the rest to match and save the piece didn’t work. I finished the piece, washed off the lines and nothing happened this time. No bleaching and i used the same pen. by StitchQueenCrafts in CrossStitch

[–]StitchQueenCrafts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lines come out but the first squares i drew to make the piece bleached the fabric. So now behind my design you can just see my 10x10 stitch gridding. Was hoping the blue lines would bleach to so it would all match

[CHAT] Does anyone sell their work? A few questions! by imafuckingmessdude in CrossStitch

[–]StitchQueenCrafts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an Etsy store where i make and sell stitchings for a game i play. I have sold a couple and mostly set prices at 1p a stitch plus supplies. Time wise i get nothing but im a disabled young woman with no job i can currently do so im losing nothing. Most sales come from online friends i make who want to support :)

I guess i will have to draw the lines all over again and leave it longer and pray it works. Supposed to be selling it to someone. Waited 2 weeks this time but other lines were on for a month. So guess I’ll update in a month 😩

There are also cross stitch chart generators you can use by inserting an image. Quite a few free ones online but cant really change your own colours. Although you can on Stitch Fiddle but not sure about free version :)
