Most
complicated?
Let's see if I can give you a few other
pointer that might help. Let's start with the basics. Most pattern instructions
suggest that you start in the center of the design.

Looking
for a pattern
My 2nd oldest brother's adoptive
parents agreed to hire and pay for a family court invesigator to help us look.
It's been a long hard road so far... The sad thing
is...

daylight lamps That's probably what I need...
a lamp that would help me see what I am doing better and the magnifying part
would be of a help too... as long as the light didn't show a glare

Frames
Frames I'm glad I could help you look at it a different way. They DO
help you look at things from a different perspective. I learn something new
almost every time I log onto one!

Need
a bit of advice
It not only helps with knowing which
thread to use, but also helps you to "keep your place" better. As for finding
the thread... (SALE is my favorite word!!)

gift
for your little self
gift for your little self I
didn't get a baby doll until I was like 9 or 10, so I think I would make a nice
doll and give it to myself. I think it might have helped me to be more
nurturing, and possibly have helped me be a better parent.

Need
Help Please
Need Help Please Thanks for asking!!
I've recieved the practice pieces and have laundered them (to reduce shrinking
after being stitched and then washed), and I've pulled all of my suitable
alphabet patterns, now all I have to do is print out the list of quotes she
wants stitched and choose what to put on each practice piece... It sounds easy,
I've gotten really great help so far and have read some of the articles here, so
I think I can handle this.

Best
places to buy?
Hobby Lobby has a coupon you can find
online for 40% off one item quite often... That is a big help on expensive
items. Although we do not have a Joann's in our area, I understand they also
have coupons...

Losing
Place in chart
There's room to mark the thread color
number and its corresponding symbol. Just keep a bundle of needles on hand and
thread one for each color of thread in your project. (If anyone doesn't know
what park and stitch is, you park a needle and thread you are using by attaching
it out of the way on the fabric, while you stitch with another needle and
thread.)

Need
Your Opinion
I do know if you're doing an ornament
(not the box that's shown in the link) then just regular perforated paper would
work really well!! Just cut the perforated paper into a square a little bit
bigger than the ornament design. Stitch the ornament like you normally would,
you may have to use extra strands of DMC to make sure the paper doesn't show
through though....

Random Question #5 I have seriously
thought about enlarging my patterns on a copy machine by about 25%. Do you think
that would be something you could do to help you handle that problem?

Need
Your Opinion
Need Your Opinion I would like to do
this project on a smaller count and make it into a Christmas ornament. I thought
that maybe I should stitch it on the paper so I could trim the edges...

What
are your neddlework plans for Christmas?
What are
your neddlework plans for Christmas? I'm not into quilting, but I'd presume you
take different fabrics that have special meaning to them - a swatch of fabric
from your grandmother's wedding gown, the handkerchief from your father's
wedding day, swatches of fabric from different children's clothing. Then, I'm
guessing they cross stitch an explanation on the fabric to help people remember.

even thought about it yet but may go look at the store and see if I can find

New
stitch???
The secret is to wrap the thread in the
same direction every time keep a bit of tension on the thread while inserting
the needle back through. If your knots are pulling through, the problem is one
of two things. The other problem is that some people simply pull too hard in an
attempt to tighten the knot.
