Manufacturer's Description With help from the latest computer multimedia, my program will not only guide you through the basics of cross stitch but will also help you to create gorgeous designs to get you stitching today! Create your own cross stitch patterns with ease by placing colour blocks, or black and white symbols on the grid to represent your stitches or import your own photographs, favourite paintings, drawings or clip art images. Then convert them into scrumptious cross stitch designs, with colours matched to your favourite stranded cotton or wool shade range to give you many hours of stitching pleasure. Containing over 1,500 of my very own motifs, borders and charts this irresistible collection will inspire you to create practical ideas for your home. Combine motifs to produce samplers for all the rooms in the house or use the smaller designs for mini projects like birthday, anniversary or thank you cards. Or why not learn lots and lots of lovely things in the tutorial section by following my step-by-step instructions. Over 20 videos will teach you about fabrics and how to select them, how to do a loop start, ¾ stitch or tent stitch, how to scan in an image, and much, much more. Plus the tutorials include plenty of my handy tips to help make things easier when you are stitching.
