Hi dawn,

thanks for the Me to You bears cross-stitch link, I noticed its using 'Anchor' threads, any idea where I can purchase the threads? Cos seems like most of the places are selling DMC threads.

Thanks a lot.

Dawn & Choon Yen: Thanks for the link! This will save me lotsa of $$ bcos the original kits cost a bomb!

Lynn: You can get Anchor threads @ Spotlight. One thing thou, Anchor thrieads are not as smooth as DMC. I converted the threads to DMC.

hi

seems that this thread has been rather quiet...

any cross stitch fans still out there??

i finished my wedding project for my brother, took me 1 1/2 months. very happy now that it is finished.

i got a question, how to print the chart off the forever frens link? i can't get the full chart printed, kept missing out certain chart portion. think the file size too big... any suggestion.

hi

i wanted to print "always & forever" but couldn't print part of the 2nd bear and moon. tried to copy and paste to ms word but the results was not human, i would go blind try to stitch...

anyway, my cross stitch buddy mananged to print, we both love the project and are thinking of starting it next year.

xiaobaibai, i went to that particular site too. we both wished that forever frens will just publish a cross stitch book like PM, so expensive to buy the kits but they are all so nice.... i am going crazy with my current forever frens "my ballon", all that shadings are causing my eyesight and sanity! the link i went to is

levynn, i also bought PM wedding collection... so many projects there that i want to do... my hubby is kinda of complaining that he lose a wife whenever i am doing a project.

i will be starting PM "road to happiness" after forever frens, this PM project will be for myself. i am super KS, bought all the materials just willing myself to finish forever frens...

glad to see this thread active again!

ya lor forever frens and me to you projects are all using anchor threads, the price of anchor and dmc threads are the same. spotlight is selling at 70cents, i frequent siew lip at hougang mall and the threads are at 65 cents.

my cross stitch buddy and me are going to use dmc threads for the forever frens "always and forever" project, got the conversion chart from internet(anchor to dmc). we already have lots of dmc threads and want to avoid "collecting" anchor.

one of the gals(in this thread) mentioned that anchor threads are not as smooth as dmc, we also noticed that. overall anchor thread not as smooth as dmc but doesn't become "mao mao".(dmc thread seems to become "mao mao" quite easily)

i love the bride and groom kissing over the letter box... so sweet... another potential project!

ha ha, you tell your sis nicely that cross stitch very character building and can make one very patience. or tell her to do one for your wedding and you do one for hers(i assume she not married yet). which project are you thinking of doing for your wedding?

i also want to find cheap cheap shop to frame. sent my bro's PM project to siew lip, think very expensive.... just hope they will do a good job. levynn, can recommend the shop you frequent?

hi an qi

here's the conversion chart link: http://yarntree.com/018anchc.htm

are you thinking of doing forever frens projects? my personal experience, it is very challenging as there are lots of half stitch(/) in 1 and 2 threads, but end product very nice lah.... my buddy is doing a blanco forever frens, and going blind as the colours are very similiar!

have fun!!

Hi Levynn,

I stay in AMK, which area is the shop u go to at?

Hi Cheesy,

Really!! It's still there? U are referring to the one that was previously at Raffles Place MRT, opposite the POSB ATMs? So where is it now? Cos I went to the newly opened shops a few times but did not see it.

Hi all,

Sorry I have MIA for so long. I am planning to DIY my ring pillow however i am thinking of having a piece of satin cloth on top of the cross-stitch cloth. As I would like to add on some lace around the pillow, so with satin cloth will be nicer? Any idea how it will turn out ? If i am doing it on the cross-stitch cloth itself, would it be very obivious to see the little dots? I am using 18 count one. Pls advise, thank you.

Hi Cheyenne,

I used 22 count for my ring pillow. Did the design from the PM wedding collections. My satin cloth is at the back of the pillow. So the top view only shows the cross-stitch cloth and the lace. Felt that using 22 count is nicer and not too big.

Hihi, i am new in this thread, need some advice!

i just bought the materials to do my ring pillow, mine will be kinda simple for the x-stiches part, will only sew the names and dates,
i will have ribbons and roses, color are in white and cream w little greens.

Anyone can advise what type of thread or color that i can use for the wordings? i mean, other than those DMC thread that we normally use, is there any other types that can make the wordings looks better? thks!
