So I normally cross stitch, and embroidery has always been a bit scary for me. I recently managed to find a kit that didnt suck and its been a ton of fun to do. Unfortunately, my entire struggle with embroidery is actually managing to get the pattern onto the cloth. My ability to draw, or even trace is definitely questionable bordering on horrific.

So I would love to find some fun designs that have already been printed onto the cloth. It doesnt even have to be a full kit. God knows that I every floss color known to man already. Where would be the best places to find them?

Decided to add a cotton reel to the piece. For some reason I'm never truly happy and always think my arts not good enough

Hello reddit community! This is my first ever post. I made this embroidery on a diaper for a special baby. Please do let me know your views about it.

Hey guys, do you have any idea which stitch I could use for hedgehog quills? I was thinking of long and short stitches but I'm not sure if this will work.. what do you think?

Without having all the floss I needed. Is it really not possible to order just the single color I need? Bah!

Made a patch for my wheelchair to make it more personal

I started this like 7 months ago, I finally got the ambition to finish it this week. I have no idea whether I should add some kind of background to it or just leave it as is?

Hey everyone. I imagine that a lot of folks have heard about the recent changes announced to Reddit’s API that will effectively destroy 3rd party apps.

The team has been looking through the developments, and after the last round of communication via today’s AMA, the subreddit will be going dark on June 12th. The subreddit will be blacked out for at least 48 hours, at which point we will evaluate how things have proceeded.

Many subreddits have spoken quite eloquently for making the case for the shutdowns, and the events that have led to it, in their subreddit statements. The core reason for continuing with this shutdown is that after listening to the explanations and the addressing of concerns, it comes down to if we think that the promises will come through.

Accessibility is huge to me. I cannot use new reddit or the official app for accessibility reasons. The moderation concerns being voiced across Reddit are also valid because this helps keep subreddits running. But the reality for accessibility features is that they are routinely shoved aside and dismissed during the software development cycle, and seen as time consuming to implement. A specialty not needed for 'normal' users, instead of a core concept of design from the start to allow users to participate in life online. 3rd parties picked up the slack for Reddit and none of the promises being made now, years too late, ring true about prioritizing access and not allowing a gap in services.

Please see here for an overview of the situation and what has led to this breakdown necessitating the blackout.

I started this 20 years ago and never finished. It was taken from the book ‘Goodnight Moon’. It was to say, underneath, “Goodnight cow Jumping over the moon.”

I've used KG Chart for over a decade and I've never updated it. So when it recommended #s I've never seen before I wasn't sure if it was a glitch. I googled the #s and they popped up in some online stores, but I'm not sure if they're sketchy. The numbers weren't on 123stitch.

So the #s are: 3884, 3885, 3887, 3890, 3891, and 3894.

Do these #s exist but are retired? Was it maybe a glitch? Are there any reliable online stores that I can order them from?

I'm trying to use a pencil (#2 I think, typical wood school pencil) to sketch out a design for my first real project but when I try to erase mistakes it just makes this big reddish smear on the fabric. How do I fix this? How do people sketch with pencil and correct it? Eraser is obviously not the way. I really have no money right now so I can't go out and buy anything but if there are specific products I should be using I can save up to get them.

I think this is my favorite color palette yet!

It’s tiny and crude but I made a pizza! It took about 2 hours but I think I did alright for my first time :)

Hello everyone! I'm wondering what your tips are to prevent fabric puckering? Even when using two layers of fabric I always get puckering and am getting really tired of it.

Hi everyone! I'm new-ish to embroidery and I have just finished a fleece baby blanket for a good friend's new baby. Is there any way to embroider on it or is the fabric too thick for that? Thanks in advance
