I am interested to know if you can have this Toscana Village cross stitch printed instead of counted

Hi there

What you have in mind they call it Needlepoint. What you just have here is counted cross stitch items.

Hello,

This pattern is only available as a counted cross stitch pattern. Thank you :)

I like the original size just I do not like to work from an instruction , I prefer to cover the printed cross stitch fabric with different colours of floss my myself, there are stamped cross stitch projects produced by other suppliers but I like more your collection.

There are several stamped cross stitch projects on this website. If you want to do an intricate project though you will have to go to the counted cross stitch section. With instructions the patterns can be so much more detailed and shaded.

Stamped cross stitch is nightmarish for me because none of the stitches are the same exact size and often don't meet. I only worked one and that was enough. The rest of the project consisted of various embroidery stitches. I kept trying to make it look like counted cross stitch and was fairly successful, of course the stitches were of different size.
You can still change colors to your liking if you opt for counted cross stitch. I have done minor changes but as a whole have found that the designers do a pretty good job of selecting colors.
Good luck.

I have never heard a needlepointer say a good word about "printed" canvases. They'd rather pay big bucks for the hand painted type.

I agree on the stamped type. It's only good for long train rides.

Oh, and, please don't call it Just Cross Stitch or Regular Cross Stitch. It's Stamped Cross Stitch. It's a beginning technique & necessary for uneven weaves like pillow cases or tableclothes.
