Stamped versus CountedPosted on 2008-Jan-26 at 01:57 - Post CommentHave you ever tried Stamped Cross Stitch? The fabric comes with the design stamped on with washable ink. Then you can work the design with embroidery floss using mostly cross stitches, and sometimes other embroidery stitches. Some people call it No Count Cross stitch, for obvious reasons.If you normally do counted cross stitch, Stamped Cross Stitch Kits are a nice change of pace. Sometimes the projects don't come out as "perfect" as counted cross stitch, but usually they aren't pictures to be hung on the wall. So it really doesn't matter as much. I personally like quilts and tablecloths. There are some beautiful Bucilla quilting stamped cross stitch kits. And of course there are dresser scarves, but I don't know if people really use those very often anymore. Maybe on antique furniture, but I'm not sure. Lap Quilts seem to be popular, and I guess that's because they are faster to make than bed quilts. You can use them as a throw, or hang them on the wall as a decoration. Do you do stamped cross stitch? I would love to hear what projects you have going on. |
