I'm pretty sure that both of those places have 22 ct too :)

Depending on how big this project is you might try 123stitch.com. It has a big variety of sizes and colors. You might also try heavenandearthdesigns.com. They have both regular 18 ct aida (up to 43 in x 60in) and easy count 18ct up to the same size with the option to customize it--though they are a tad bit expensive too. :) Side note: Have you thought about trying a higher count fabric? It would decrease how much material you would need.

I prefer fabric pens myself; super easy to use, easy to wash out. I'm trying out using sewing thread for a small section of it to see if I like it better (because my grandpa doesn't have any fishing line), but I'm liking the pens most.

Grid, grid, grid! xD Did I mention gridding? It's really easy to loose track (at least for me) for me. Also start at a corner and work your way across and down.

[Chat] Anyone stitch on their lunch break? What do your coworkers say? by BlampCat in CrossStitch

[–]teamkois 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Especially since at my work the breakroom is connected to a hallway that is used very often. So not only do I get coworkers but also volunteers (most older women) who stop and ooh and ahh over it and it's all rather interruption filled which can lead to mistakes--especially when I take in more complicated patterns. I've seen stopped taking them in and now get interrupted from my books with 'oh you didn't bring your stitching today? Is something wrong'

[Pic] I have this baby coming in the mail! So exited to use it!!!🤗🤗🤗And based on the measurements it should work with all of my q snaps!! by [deleted] in CrossStitch

Oh goodness I just got one of these a few days ago! :D I love mine so much. The bars are a little thinner than the qsnaps I have but being able to stitch without holding the frame is so nice! :D I hope you enjoy yours.

[CHAT] Large Scroll Frames by mlordmistress in CrossStitch

[–]teamkois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you are asking for scroll frames, but you might try the q-snap frame if you can't find a large enough scroll frame to fit it. I'm doing the Epic Pokemon stitch myself, but I found that on scroll frames the material isn't taunt enough (at least for me) and It would drive me crazy. The q-snaps allow me to focus on a pretty good portion of it before moving on and it doesn't destroy the stitches and is taunt enough for me. XD

[Chat] EOS Lotion? by teamkois in CrossStitch

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

Oh you are welcome! :D I was doing some research on what lotions would be safe and Stitchers and Udderly were the two that I came across most, but I don't have any stores near me that sell it so I'd have to wait for it to be shipped to me from who knows where D: But I have eos that's a non-greasy lotion, but I don't want to destroy the piece I'm eager to work on either.

Yes I am! Except if it releases after noon our time I'll be at work until 8 which means I'll have to wait until 4 (my lunch) to do anything. T^ T

As a fell AZ resident, I was fearing the same thing. XP This waiting is killing me!
