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.

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

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.

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 ><>
