Stitching-related post

It could indeed but I think if a person normally uses a cross stitch pattern with colours and shadings specified, they might be at a loss here. It would be better to go with crewel where the shading would be easier, at least, I would find it easier, maybe others would find working out cross stitch shading easier, I don't know.

Remember, this is a transfer only, no directions for anything.

I was thinking (dangerous, I know! LOL), I have photocopied pics and fonts onto pre-printed graph paper with pretty good results. A few of the things I've designed (my @ badge, a bookmark and the "Road to Hell" on rctnp are examples) came out pretty well, imo.

Do you have a pic of this dragon somewhere, Sheena?

I shall look for it.

I was thinking of canvases, painted and otherwise, in which the design has been traced and the stitcher fills in the outline. Something similar could be done with XS if someone really, really wanted to work a pattern.

exactly!

I'll see your .02 and raise you 0.10.

I'm certainly not afraid of 1/4 stitches! :) In fact, I often add them to some of the designs I work.
