I'd prefer if someone could re-write them, but if not, just a copy and paste would do I think...

Unless someone here is the author, a copy/paste would NOT be advisable.

Wouldn't something more like this be better:

Should cut down on the size, and its more to the point...

That'd be spot on, LL.

Much better! Though the other one had more conversions ;) (like Mill Hill bead colors - not that many of use patterns w/beads).
The main set people seem to want is DMC <-> Anchor from what I've seen on the board.

I see you don't have any specific guides for embroidery. Would you like me to do a "Basics of Embroidery" guide? I have a lot of experience with it.

Not sure if you saw this...

Thought I'd already replied to that...maybe I imagined it?

Anyway, yes! An embroidery guide would be lovely!

I'm on it!

I'm on it!

Thank you! I just read your guide and it is great. ^^

And thanks to everyone who's pitched in so far, you all get a cookie!

I just thought of a new guide - we have a "framing your work" guide and a "using hoops and frames" but maybe we should also have a "how to finish a piece on a hoop"?
BMH had some good images in her Stitchings thread using flexihoops. I've used wooden hoops covered in ribbon/fabric as well... any thoughts?

Should probably put that in some kind of guide to alternative finishing techniques (ie not just sticking them in a frame!)

I originally ear marked that for the "framing" guide. The aim was to cover all possible ways of framing...

Fair enough!
What about non-frame (or even hoop) finishing techniques? They could probably all go together in one place, though.
