- Generally, your photograph should be of only one or two subjects if you want your picture to show a lot of detail. A photo of a pet almost always makes an excellent cross stitch. If you have a very detailed scene it will look more impressionistic and less like a photograph which can also be quite effective. If your photo shows too much clutter, just indicate what part you want and we'll zoom in on it. We could pick your face out of your class photo for example, so keep this in mind when choosing photos to stitch or you might overlook a great picture. The average size of most patterns is about 100x130 stitches, or 7”x9” stitched on 14ct. Very detailed pictures require larger graphs. Please specify the finished size you want but in some cases we may have to increase the size to produce a good picture. See Choosing a Size for more info.

You can specify normal color, sepia tone (like an antique photograph), gray tones, or any other color range such as greens or blues, etc. (See examples below). Sepia tones are great for old fashioned photos etc. We can also make any adjustments that you specify, such as removing the background or portions of the background. If you have any other ideas, don't hesitate to ask. We have, for example ocassionally re-created small parts of a photo that were cut off. We can also combine additional photos into one pattern or add a small caption in back-stitched lettering.

Don't forget you get to view your image on your Preview Page before we actually chart it. This gives you a very realistic look at your design to see if it's what you expected and if you don't like what you see, you don't pay!
If we feel your photo will not produce a good cross stitch as specified, we will contact you and make suggestions for changes, or return your photo without charge.
