Hi everyone! First off thank you all for sharing your amazing work here. I’ve been popping in here for a few weeks now and I’m happy to say you’re all the reason today I’ve got my first kit. I’d tried cross-stitching (very basic stuff though) as a kid but now I can feel the calling is strong. I’m very excited to share my attempts with you soon!
What are some useful tips you’ve learned that a beginner like me should know? Things to avoid or look for?
Are there any apps that you find useful and that are specific for cross-stitching?
I’ll appreciate all the help. Thank you!
Thanks for all the good advice! And for taking the time to type it down. I was wondering about the knot actually, thanks for clarifying that.
I love the idea of playing with the number of strands to emphasize parts of the design, hopefully will soon be designing original work. The compression glove seems to be a must, I didn’t even know they existed!
