These designs came from designstash.com. This is four of the nine designs that came in 2 sizes. I think I just fell in love with machine Xstitch. It has such a beautiful look to it. My favorite craft, before machine emb, was Counted Cross Stitch. I was hesitant in doing cross stitch on the machine. But after reading some comments from long ago I finally got up the nerve to try it.

I see why U fell in love with it. These r lovely & look exactly like hand cross stitching *4U

clawton, thank you for sharing this lovely work - I have these designs and have put off trying - because unlike you - I can't a straight line and knew these had to be cut out - after the stitching -how did you do that? These are very lovely. *4U

And they are freebies! I am really excited to try them- I thought they would be fun to give out at our next potluck party!

Very nice the snowman and pansy ones are my farvoite. nice job! Did you do them on felt the edges are so nice and straight. I'm empressed!!

Very pretty. I too counted cross stitch before machine embroidery. I haven't tried Cross Stitch on my machine either but now I will. Thanks for sharing.

They look great! I love especially the one with the painsies. I love Xstitch and these designs look beautiful! *4 them

I am sew happy you tried X-stitch emb on mach. Isn't it just the neatest? I love it. You did a wonderful job on the bookmarks too. I did the "I Love To Read" one for my sister. Are you hooked on it now? *4U ><>
