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!
Aw, that’s a cute idea to stitch the doodle! To answer your question about apps, I’ve used the stitch fiddle website to make simple patterns with a few colors and backstitching. Floss cross is another site you could check out. I think the pixel art app you used might be similar to them since it has a similar grid.
