I live on the gulf coast of Mississippi and we are very seafood oriented people. I am redoing my kitchen in a seafood decor with crawfish, fish, shrimp crabs, etc. I am a avid cross stitcher and can not find any patterns. Thanks

I am a cross-stitcher, and for Christmas, I want to make ornaments for friends. The ones I’ve selected online are needlepoint, so I’m wondering what the difference is, and if needlepoint is much harder?

I am a novice Cross Stitcher and have purchased a Thomas Kinkade printed kit. I’ve already put samples of the corresponding floss by the stitch symbol chart and taped the edges of my canvas to prevent fraying. I’m ready to start the project, but I’m noticing that the chart and the actual print on the canvas are not matching up in the count. For instance, there are more squares on the chart from a point to the edge than there are from the corresponding point on the print to the edge of the printed canvas. I”m also noticing that the chart and printed canvas aren’t really matching up from point to point either. I seem to remember my mom saying something about finding the center of the canvas and starting from there. So can someone who is practiced and knowledgable about this craft please tell me how one follows an embellished cross stitich pattern correctly?

I’m having trouble reading my pattern. I’m a new cross stitcher and I have the color code and the single cross stitch down. I know how to do the other stitches, I just don’t know when to use the stitches and what exactly the pattern looks like to do those other stitches. Are there any good websites that show a pattern and then show what you need to do in each square so I can understand better?
For example, my issue right now is the upper left corner is one color and the bottom right shows to use another. In between is a solid line. I can’t find in the directions what the heck this means…
