What would you want in a Cross Stitch Database?

[epobbp]

Hi all! ^.^

I'm currently in a database design class. For my final project, I'm designing a database of links to cross stitch patterns. So I need to get input from other people. What information would you like in a cross stitch pattern database? What would you like to be able to search by?

Thank you all! ^.^

EDIT: realized I didn't specify that these will all be video game patterns specifically.

What a fun project!

Personally, I would be interested in searching by subject, maybe finished size on a couple of different counts (maybe 14 ct, 16 ct, and 18 ct), and number of colors.

Good luck!

Being able to search by total stitch count would be helpful too. You could divide the DB into different size patterns.

Amount of colors used.

Different portions of a project.
Letters / Numbers
Borders
Embellishments

Thank you all so much for your replies! I realized just now I didn't specify that it is video game patterns only at the moment (but may add more post-project) ^.^

Cirestan, what do you mean by different portions of a project? Was the letters/borders/embellishments the examples or other things? (I want to make sure I understand exactly ^.^)

Yes, like if I wanted to find a border for my project, could I hunt for that separately? Or if I was looking for a typeface could I find that?
