If it says in the description "only full cross stitches", it certainly means that. With these designs that cover an entire area,they are meant to be viewed from 2-3 feet away, because the cross stitches are like the pixels, the tiny dots that make up a TV picture,etc. It is beautiful! A big job with lots of whites!

I would guess there is a lot of outlining.

Hello,

I pulled the pattern to took a look at it and there isn't any backstitching or outlining for this pattern. Su Pitt is correct in saying that this pattern is full cross stitches only. I hope this helps :) Thank you!

I love this dragon. I want it!!!! TX Stitcher, STOP ME!!!! You got 10 minutes to talk me out of it, before it goes into the cart. Especially since it's full stitches only.

J, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS PATTERN. Work on reducing your stash. I thought about you last night when I saw it and knew that you would have difficulty resisting.

It is tempting but think about all the white! I personally dislike stitching with white and black for some reason unless it's a small area.

Wait until Mother's Day, okay! LOL

You are so absolutely right!!!! I have that peacock in all white to do yet. I have put that one on my back burner, (The peacock).

Thank you, you are my support team! Won't get it.

Save the peacock for the next generation of stitchers, the ones you will be mentoring. Tell them that if they complete it to your satisfaction (must win a ribbon) they are eligible to receive the Master Stitcher Certificate!
