I have the opposite - Zweigart's always been great for me, while DMC not so good. After washing both are usually ok for the 6x6" size though.samarin wrote:not zweigart, thats what i bought this year and its not even close. in the past dmc has been good if its new. after sitting around for a year it was out a stitch last year.

I use MCG textiles, and it has always been great for me.

I find that Charles Craft Gold Standard fabric is pretty accurate.

Re: Stitching for Charity 2015
I've just spent the past couple of hours trying to make a pattern for Midna from LoZ:TP and I've managed this so far:
It's been a bit challenging as it's quite a dark image and my normal pattern program can't even differentiate the background! I've used KG which I'm a bit less familiar with, but just wanted to check this is okay

Wow, that looks amazing!

Re: Stitching for Charity 2015
Fabric just arrived and I just counted and measured it. 96x96= 5.9x5.9 sooo close! I'm assuming this is ok?
