FAQ’s

 

1.  Do we use quarter and half stitches?  No, we only use full stitches for all of our designs.  Our designs are so detailed that they do not require back-stitching or other specialty stitches.

 

2.  What brand of floss do we use?  We only use DMC floss, but you are welcome to use the floss of your choice with the help of a conversion chart featured on our site.

 

3.  Why do we use so many colors in our patterns? We use an abundance of colors in our patterns to get them to look as realistic from the source as possible.  The more colors used, the clearer and more vibrant the patterns look.  The less colors used, the more washed out the patterns look without detail.  We strive to achieve original quality patterns.

 

4.  Learn to Cross Stitch.  You can go to "How to Cross Stitch" on our website and watch the videos that are embedded there. Also, there is a great e-book called "Cross Stitch Made Easy" by Janice Applegate.
