I embroidered an oval green and white doily in Hardanger. It is 27cm x 36cm and has Maltese crosses, wrapped bars and the box stitch. The pattern is from Diana's Hardanger booklet.

Do you like to embroider, but there is no more space on the walls? I would like to share an idea for embroidery. Embroidered aprons for bottles will not only decorate your festive table, but also a wonderful gift for friends and relatives.

Cross stitch for board game fans pattern
My friends are getting married and they are very much into board games. All types. I am looking for a collage type cross stitch pattern that includes many types of games. I would like to stitch it and then add their names and wedding date below. I’ve looked on Etsy a bit but nothing caught my eye. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance 🤓

Looking for cloth
Hello!
I like to shop local whenever I can, and I was looking for links to any Virginia/West Virginia/North Carolina/Maryland dyers of cross stitch cloth. I know about Millenial Stitches. Are there any others you would recommend?
Thanks!

Advice for a new sewer on an ambitious project without a sewing machine
Hi there, I am a newer person to making garments. I've embroidered quite a bit and specialise more in crocheting and punch needle, however I am wanting to make a coat/ long waist coat inspired by a coat owned by a character I like. I don't own a sewing machine nor an overlocker(?) machine (not sure if they can be the same machine or if that is the correct term for preventing fabric from fraying). I want to make a coat similar to ones shown in photos below which as you can see is a heavily embroider design based coat which is the part I look forward to working away at over quite a length of time. I understand I have to cut the red fabric into the shape of the coat before embroidering on the design. However, as the embroidering could take months and months, this fabric will be heavily handled for quite some time before being secured by being sewn onto the inner lining. This leaves me quite stuck on how to get over this situation, I was debating on doing a simple blanket stitch around the coat before embroidering but because of the length of this coat there's chances it could start fraying as I'm hand sewing the blanket stitch around. A friend recommended a pair of pinking shears and after looking into them and how they work, this is something I found to be ground-breaking knowledge as it sounds like the perfect tool to combat this issue. I am asking if these pinking shears really do prevent from fraying, especially in semi long term handling. Will I be wasting my time trying to embroider for months for it to begin to fray half way into the process? Anyone who could give advice on this I would appreciate it so so much!!

I embroidered this game. It's from the internet and is cross-stitched on counted fabric with a twist. Since I have a lot of leftover yarn, it made sense to embroider it, because I didn't have to stick to the same color choice for this project. The game is 36 cm x 36 cm.

Is this a friendly group?
In the past 12 hours, I've been kicked out of both r/CrossStitch and r/Embroidery for asking my question...

Hey this may be a dumb question but i saw this online and i was curious. Could i continuously stitch then unstitch the kind of stitches in this picture for practice or with embroidery when you stitch something you cant unstitch it? Sorry ive never done embroidery before

I embroidered a cat in the moon. It is made of plastic canvas with wool in tapestry stitch. It was on the internet as an outline drawing. I also added lighting.

Looking for a 1970s pattern of an apple needlepoint
Hoping to find the kit or magazine pattern of a needlepoint my mom did in the 1970s. Was 4 apples - each with more bites being taken.
Maybe it was in Woman’s Day?
Found eBay listing for completed set but want to make my own.
Is there a resource for tracking patterns in magazines?
