What do people think of cross stitch-would you like to try it but think its uncool? I'm developing a modern cross stitch site where users pick designs to make their own giant samplers with their own messages and themes. What sort of images do you think would be good to use as designs, for example instead of old fashioned sampler images I have used modern day issues such as nuclear power stations and guns. These designs can then be completed using the craft technique of cross stitching to make up and image, its nice to mix old craft style with modern images. Any idea and input from crafters, non crafters, creatives, thinkers etc would be so useful. Thanks in advance. I'm Hannah by the way, who makes things :)

Cross stitch pressing? Hi there! Okay, I'm doing a square cross stitch design, and at the moment its in an oval frame to keep it tight. But eventually when its finished I'm going to want to frame it, and when I remove the oval, there's going to be the oval crease in it. So how can I combat this? Do I just continue stitching inside the oval until I can't anymore, remove it, do the rest of the design and then iron it afterwards? In the instructions it has got how to press it, face down with the iron on medium, but I just thought I'd double check so I don't make a mess of it in the end. Thanks a lot in advance! :)
