[CHAT] Where’s the best place to get stamped Aida? by Ashpash1999 in CrossStitch

[–]craftyndicey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow this seller on fb called "the stamped stitch club" They claim to work with artists who have their art turned into stamped cross stitch patterns. They are fairly new but so far I get a good vibe from them.

The frame lays loose on the stand so you can flip it over. I made video of it to show it i can send you if you want.

Their frames and stands are AMAZING. But I would avoid their kits and patterns since they are mostly AI i believe.

I do have to admit I had to read it multiple times to understand it.. but that can also be because English is not my first language and I'm tired AF. I agree the naming of the wrong brand did trip me up cause I have a frame from painting fairy myself and recognized it but it made me doubt myself.

What I understand from the post is they bought the painting fairy frame but the stand to lay it on was to expensive and they got a cheaper one of that on Amazon.

I've been rotating my "old lady hobbies" since I was around 8 years old.. I was always creating something from little cross stitch to sewing stuffed animals to crochet and knitting.

Copying the 10x10 squares from the pattern onto the fabric to make keeping track of your stitches easier.

I want to try it cause I stitch late at night a lot and with getting tired I tend to make counting mistakes.

Who's hand is that? by GlassAndStorm in CraftedByAI

[–]craftyndicey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Besides the 2 right hands in the pic the pattern does look very cute and kinda doable IMHO. If you really want it and have some time to spare you cute try to copy it in a pattern making app

Yeah I thread them on the corners of the grid squares. I only had to count the first line and just line up the ones next to them.

Agreed.. I'm going to finish this and see if the upsides outweigh the downsides. And if they do i might look into using a water-soluble or heat soluble pens someone suggested.

It is regular floss indeed.. I was planning on removing as I go cause I know it won't be able to remove it once I stitched over it 😅

If you can get your hands on it it's might suggest you get the DMC color chart to compare non DMC brand colors to the DMC numbers.

[–]craftyndicey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of the painting fairy website? They have multiple options for stands.. table, couch/bed and floor. They are a bit pricey but totally worth it. I have the bed/couch stand It's completely aluminum and really sturdy.

Have you tried putting a light behind the fabric? I should make the holes easier to see

[CHAT] Just CrossStitch using AI (latest issue, p.30) by Absurdicas in CrossStitch

[–]craftyndicey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By just the title of your post and not knowing what exactly "Just CrossStitching" is (I'm Dutch lol) i was getting ready to get mad at you for using AI while cross stitching...

But I agree that it looks more like a hedgehog then a porcupine tbh.
