Although Gitta's designs were created for petit point or needlepoint, they also look good in cross-stitch. This is possible as petit point incorporates only full stitches; there are no 1/4 stitches or backstitching in these designs.

With the increase of computer-generated charts on the market, there is also an increased concern with regard to such charts. I feel the greatest confusion is the terminology. “Computer generated” - what exactly does this mean. In my opinion Computer generated designs are images scanned into the computer and then filtered through a charting program. “Computer printed” charts are charts that have been hand designed and then input into a program for printing purposes only. But nothing is black and white and there are differences between the companies that create computer-generated designs. I cannot speak for all of them but by working in a stitching shop I can tell you some of the things you should be looking for when purchasing such designs. The most important difference you should be looking for is – is the photo on the cover a picture of the original artwork or of the actual stitched model. Speaking as a stitcher with little time for actual stitching, I want to see how the design will look before I dedicate months of work into a piece only to discover that the stitched work does not look like the leaflet cover. With regards to our own line of computer generated charts, “Timeless Designs”, I can assure you that the photo on the cover is the stitched model and that it is not simply scanned through a program. Once scanned, colours are changed, eliminated and combined, images and faces are shaped, and the chart is not released until after the model is stitched. |
