Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
So, I'm new to this site but came across this pokemon pattern whilst browsing for pokemon projects. I'm planning on hopefully doing all of the Gen patterns, I've literally just started this one today. I'm excited to see how it turns out

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
OK, I am getting ready to start this pattern. I have got the pattern downloaded and noticed there is no backstitching for line work on it. Has anyone added this? And do you recommend adding it? Also, are you using 1 or 2 stands of floss?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
From my experience of doing this pattern ( so far I've been working on it for about 3 or 4 weeks and done the top row of Pokemon ), you don't need to do any backstitching, I think it will add more work for you if you do - that is just personal preference. I am sewing with 2 strands of floss as it gives a more bold colour than just using the 1.rockstar105 wrote:OK, I am getting ready to start this pattern.

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
It depends on the fabric count. For 18, I would definitely recommend 2-ply. My advice, though, would be to stitch a couple practice rows on a different piece of canvas so you get a feel for your preferred amount of coverage.rockstar105 wrote:OK, I am getting ready to start this pattern.

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
Okay, I'm about to smack my former self. I measured wrong, so I'm 2 inches off. Of course the past me had to cut the fabric. I have not even a page done (I was marking it out). I'm so not looking forward to starting over. Does anyone have any suggestions other than starting over?

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
I am currently working on this and it is a large challenge. I had to do it on 14 ct. aida as that is all my local places had. I have only started the top right corner and am enjoying it a lot. So thanks a ton for the pattern!

I actually like using stitching patters for perler sprites and I just recently started this! It's been a blast to make so far

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
It's been a while (2 years!) since I've worked on this, but I bought it out of hibernation last weekend. Sadly I've not had chance to do much this week but I'm hoping to get more done this weekend.

Re: Epic Pokemon Pattern Generation I
I LOVE this so much! This pattern is what really got me hooked on cross-stitching. I've been neglecting working on it these past couple months but I'm almost halfway done, and I just bought this amaaaaazing new hoop (well...square, technically?) that's started me back up again so I'm super psyched!! So much so that I already snagged the patterns for the rest of the gens haha...I'll check back with those in about ohhhhh 5 or 6 years XD
