IA M NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE OR SNIPPY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
Please enlighten me.
I don't understand why so many people don't understand the difference between counted cross stitch and stamped.
I always thought, and still do think. (OKAY don't laugh at the idea of me thinking). Anyhow, Isn't cross stitch done on fabric, using a pattern, and stitching on a blank fabric.
Aren't stamped items really embroidery? You have fabric with a pattern on it. You are supposed to follow the lines using various stitches: straight stitching, lazy daisy, back stitch, French knots, etc. In other words, you are tracing the lines or following the dots.
Stamped items are usually pre-finished -- tablecloth, pillows, wall hanging, etc.
Am I making myself clear? Stamped items are not cross stitch. Right? You could do a huge project, like a tablecloth, using a stamped pattern and never make one "X" stitch.
As Desi Arnaz would say Lucy - you have some 'splaining to do.
