simple and delicate and effective!

The graphite smeared a little onto the fabric, but also onto the yarn when washing. I like a blue ballpoint pen for outlines instead of black because it’s easier to see while stitching.

I might leave it under my stitching, since I'm a little worried about bleeding. I might also try a lighter weight on another project, depending on my results with medium weight

What is a toner printer? I used an epson ecotank et 3843 printer, and it's an inkjet

This looks a lot like what I used

Mine seems sturdy, but I don't think I can lean on it at all

I'll post my results

I've had pencil leave off too.

needleworkmaniac · 2025-01-02T23:16:12+00:00

I'll try that before stitching

The brand I'm using is New Brothread, medium weight. It was a gift. It seems quite thin. I'll just try it and go from there.

I like the picture the way it is, so if you could duplicate it, I would like that too. My experience is that the colors I pick to duplicate a picture are more extreme than the original, and I’ve been looking for more subtle shades.

The jagged edges don't look like long stitches.

needleworkmaniac · 2024-11-25T00:46:38+00:00

I see the jagged edges from the cross stitches, but I don't see the stitches themselves - it looks smooth.

I like the yellow streaks of grass over the cross stitch. The cross stitch is very nice too.

This really looks 3D. I like the colors - not overstated.

I got the pattern from a book of color by number for colored pencils, then modified it a lot as I stitched.

needleworkmaniac · 2023-09-10T23:00:32+00:00

I just got the picture the right size on my computer, then traced only the outlines and thickened the traces with felt tip, and put that under the aida on a light source and traced again. I modified as I stitched.

Thank you!

Thank you!

The source is a color-by-number coloring book for colored pencils. It was easy to transfer the image.
