Hi guys,

For changing your photo's into stitch graphs is called Stitch Creator 3.0. I enjoyed this software. I printed all my graphs so I have them on hand. I as a stitcher highlight my graphs as I do the rows.

Check Stitch Creator 3.0 out and try it. You get to see your photos change to an art form.

I did a Beadlepoint project many years ago, and it was very different and a lot of fun. I remember thinking that if I ever did it again I would use smaller beads (than 11s). There is also a book with Beadlepoint in the title, which is what inspired me in the first place. Nice to see there is a kit available -- I was totally "winging it."

Sheila...what is the name of that software? I'd love to convert some cross-stitch patterns to beading or photos to cross-stitch, etc.

I researched this process a year ago. I am a use to be cross stitcher and now I am a beader and wire wrapper. I wanted to not waste or get rid of all my cross stitch books. So....In my research I found that bead daily has a conversion chart for DMC threads to Delica beads. Now I can bead my project books or turn my original photos into original beading projects. You have to love technology; there is software for all sorts of creative things to do. The software to change your original photos into stitching project even gives you a trial version to try.

I started doing beadpoint about 10 years ago, and have periodically done projects in this technique, often combining it with counted thread cross stitch for jewelry bags or clutch purses. I've used a tear-away canvas on these projects available at some needlework stores in a size that works easily with size 11 sead beads. And there's another canvas which accommodates size 15 beads, if, like me, you're a real masochist. Once you've stitched the design, you pull out the threads of the canvas, leaving just the beads. You have to be very careful to stitch in the holes of the canvas because if you catch a thread of the canvas, it's tough to remove without also hurting your pattern. But the end product looks amazing. I love the idea that someone is finally making kits for things like cell phones. Thanks for this blog!

I like these cases. It is taking my craft one step further. To see what I mean check out my beaded cards at www.pamscardsnmore.com

I get great enjoyment making them.

So the website in this article for BeadSmith takes you to a wholesale only website. Where can beaders find the Beadlepoint cases if they are not able to buy wholesale?

OMFG I have got to try this! I did embroidery as a kid, and crewel & macrame in the 70s… but cross stitch was one thing I never did master…even with a pattern...I did one piece and it came out so bad I had to touch up with black marker where the little X's didn't quite meet, LOL… But needlepoint was a piece of cake! This will be fun.
