Need help with Wedding Sampler

feeds@yuku.com (Raphaela) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:58:00 GMT

What are the color of the satin stiches within the top of the columns?? I thought they were the rayon flosses but that brown isn't brown enough.

Re Peacock Majesty floss

feeds@yuku.com (blubird7) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:05:18 GMT

I just have one quick question. I finally pulled out my pattern of PM and it asks for a floss #422. Neither Michaels nor my LNS has this particular number, and my LNS said that there was no such number.
Can someone please enlighten me?

Need help on Angel Procession

On my pattern for this it shows two symbols for the same color, it lists the filled in heart and the upside down U both as 841, does anyone know the correct color for these symbols? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The mysterious Peacock Tapestry backstitch chart

feeds@yuku.com (idriensdai) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:53:26 GMT

I tried posting about this in the PT board, so I would really appreciate if this could be left here. I'm in dire need of the backstitch chart that has been gone over in ink. Best would be if someone could send me a scan, that way it wouldn't cost anything, and I swear on my life I would destroy destroy destroy after use. I own the kit, but the backstitching is killing me. Heck--if you wanted to oddly mark up the non-leaves please do so--the backstitching leaves is killing me...

Help help help with Lazy Daisy Stitch

Apparently I stink at these. And of course I am almost finished with Romeo & Juliet and the border is full of Lazy Daisies. I really need some help and/or tips on completing this stitch. Anything would be incredibly appreciated.

Help with making a Wall Hanging, please

feeds@yuku.com (Serendipity8) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:07:32 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I just found Teresa Wentzler designs yesterday while searching for my next project and fell in love with her style and colours. I'm not an expert cross-stitcher by any means, I've done about 5 good-sized kits in my life. After hours of searching, I've settled on combining her fruit and flower bell pulls into a wall hanging; I admit I got this idea from a photo posted on the web somewhere by someone who had done the same thing, but it looks absolutely...

Which TW design has the LEAST amount of confetti and partial stitching?

feeds@yuku.com (Fibreartist) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:34:28 GMT

I have almost every TW design but as I work on my very first one FS, I have come to realize that I really hate partial stitches, embroidery stitches, and confetti stitches. Which design contains the LEAST of these atrocities ().

Over One Face for Magical Night?

feeds@yuku.com (Heather H) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:58:33 GMT

I've posted in the Magical Night forum below, asking if anyone has charted an over one face for Magical Night. I thought I would ask up here too, because this section probably sees more traffic.

If I need to chart this myself, does anyone have any suggestions for recharting something as over one? There are blends to contend with, but beyond that, is it more or less making 4 small stitches for each large one?

I'm really loving all the little peeks that Teresa is letting us have of this design in progress! It all looks so beautiful and I can't wait to see how it all fits together.

Help, please!

Hi!

Please could someone help me or advise me about Tradewinds? I'm stitching the mermaid on the left of the picture and I've been using the detailed chart that someone put on the forum some years ago, where the stitching is done over one thread. The bit that looks like the mermaid's hand wasn't included so I did it over one myself, but it looks very odd and out of proportion. Did anyone else find the same, and if so, what did you do?

I've been...

Finished! This is my first TW completion for quite a while. I forgot how much I hate lazy daisies. but how much I like these designs! Oh, I wish I had more time! But no work means no money for said hobby so I guess I must suffer.
