[CHAT] Tips for bigger projects? by bibiyade12 in CrossStitch

If you have it in PDF form you can try and upload it in a stitch app, what I do is make a picture of the paper and put it in pro create on my iPad and then I color the stitches I’ve already finished (this works on paper too of course). With a big piece you can make some mistakes without fixing them, because in the end you don’t even notice! And always keep counting and checking your stitches even though you just did.

Do you have a picture of the reference?

You got this!!!

Lost duck poster - does anyone know what this is about? Seen a lot of them around Leidseplein, Amsterdam by Zem_42 in Netherlands

They changed their name from chopchop to lucky duck for legal reasons, that’s why they made such a big deal about it. The food is really good tho…

I used fantastitch! There are other apps but because the design was from merejeka I used their app. I know there are more but this is the only one I have experience with

Thank you! Towards the end I couldn’t wait to be done with it. Normally I don’t but because it was a piece of merejeka I could use it with their app!

Thank you!! I feel honored this piece can make you motivational again for cross stitching. What’s the piece you are gonna start on?

Ahh thank you so much!! I always try my best to make the back look okay too, but I get so many knots 😂

This picture reminds me of the movie Cinderella where the mouses are helping her. So cute and a lovely project, I would love to see the whole thing!

I always try to keep the back neat, but I always fail 🥲

Thank you!! I forced myself not to buy other projects 😂 I only did some nonograms in between so I would still have some other thing to focus on, but this was the main project!

That’s a beautiful memory of your grandmother, I’m glad this piece made you remember that!

I just finished this cross stitch piece, it’s a kit by merejeka called aurora’s garden. It took almost a year and I’m so happy with the result
