Anne cloth?

3:01 am - 04/05/2003
Ok since I have been too weak and lazy to do much of my chainmail lately (thank you weak body and stupid meds), I have decided to take on a second hobby for these lazy, sore, blah kind of days. My mom is gonna teach me how to cross stitch, so with me being unable to work and mom loving sun faces, I went ahead and assumed this hobby will work out and ordered a pamphlet of celestial designs that is designed to be used on pillows and afghans mainly - so I could make her a b-day present. The booklet says that it is for use on Anne cloth. Has anyone used this? I've looked for it online and best I can tell it is some cloth usually already made into an afghan with a special weave so that you can stitch on it, is that a fair assessment of what it is? Is there any reason why these designs wouldn't work as normal cross stitch pattern? I am guessing I could use them on any fabric but eh I just am clueless so far.

Thanks!

See that is why I don't know, haven't gotten it yet, just won it on eBay. The auction I won w/ a pic of the leaflet is Here. It wasn't much money so if there is some reason that I couldn't use it for regular cross stitch, I'll find another use for it... but since I had never heard of Anne cloth I figured I would ask here just in case anyone had used any patterns made for Anne cloth - or to see if anyone had used that cloth.

Thanks!

It looks sorta like you'd be able to do it on regular cloth if you ask me. Maybe it's just gonna be really large beacause it's meant for afgans

Agreed. As long as the design comes in a grid, it's gonna work on any cross stitch fabric. You'd need a lot for a design that big, though.

As long as the pattern's a grid, it'll work on any kinda cross stitch fabric. You can figure out how much material you'll need after you get the pattern...count the stitches in the part of the design you want to do (this is really tedious) and then divide it by the stitches-per-inch of your material, and that'll tell you how much you need. Hope that helps...the design looks really neat.

Do you know how to transfer a picture to a cross stitch grid?
I have been stitching for many years, but always from kits. I would like to mkae something of my own, I have a picture that I made, but I can't figure out how to get into some kind of grid pattern.

Help?

Transfer it to graph paper? I was thinking about making some patterns, and I think thats what I'll do...

Actually I just bought that PC Stitch pattern for the cost of only shipping
It was like 8 bucjs and it works like a charm!

I got it from PlanetCDRom.com
