I just love cross stitch so I made these ITH cross stitch sewing machine pincushions for a couple of my quilt guild friends. They loved them. Watching machine cross stitch stitch out is so mesmerizing! Thanks for looking, Cuties!

11496Lovely work. You have done a great job digitising this! I like machine cross stitch too and the way the software plans the stitching - fascinating.
I recently used some designs I made more than a decade ago and plan to make new ones soon.

Thank you Martine...It always amazes me too when I watch the stitch outs...
145302This is a great project and I do like it so much. I've only tried twice the machine embroidery XS. I even went so far as planning out a sun, my design when using my software. I'm sure your quilt friends were very surprised and loved them.

18473Gorgeous Kim, I've done a lot of cross-stitch projects with my embroidery machines. I particularly love Martine's Biscornu pin cushions. Love Chris

Thanks Chris...and you are sooo right...Martine's Biscornu pin cushion is the best!
234485I enlarged the picture and it looks so pretty. I love the idea of using cross stitch designs as a pin cushion. I too love hand embroidery and machine embroidery cross stitch that looks hand made. Please keep giving us great ideas for projects.

1899Kim these are lovely and I am sure you enjoyed creating the design as much as stitching it out.

115742Very nice. I've done hand cross stitch, but never attempted it with a machine. Not sure I could get the fabric aligned correctly.

Thanks so much...it is really not that difficult, but the beauty is you don't have to use Aida cloth...
11506Lovely lovely, I love them, you will have request for more.
Have some Xst designs but sadly have not stitched them. Thank you for you comment about watching it stitch also.

Thank you for your kind comments...You should try cross stitch if you like it as machine cross stitch will boggle your mind! The recipients all thought that I did these by hand....but alas, I had to tell them that it was actually machine embroidery....
