Cross-stitch designs can be created from:
-
Photographs:
We can convert any size of photograph up to 10"x8" in size to virtually any size of cross-stitch, if you have
a particularly small photograph, or area you wish converting, it is best to check with us first.
We may be able to convert larger pictures at additional cost, please
contact us for details.
Your photograph can be colour, black and white or sepia.
We can also use photographs with light damage, such as scratches and faded colours. If you are unsure, please
check with us first. We are happy to give you advice and quotes with no
obligation.
-
Pictures:
Pictures can be anything on paper. It can be something you've printed yourself, or something someone has
drawn or painted. However, if you have a picture in an electronic
format the results will be better if you send this version rather
than one printed on a basic printer. If you are unsure, please contact us for advice.
-
Internet Pictures:
The internet if packed with images of virtually everything you could ever want. You can e-mail us an
image, or tell us where you found the image. Please be aware that many images on the internet are
copyrighted and the site owner might not allow their images to be used. If you are unsure, contact the site
owner, or check their page for details of copyright information (such as at the bottom of this page).
-
Computer Picture Files:
As above with the internet, computers offer an powerful way of creating your own artwork. We can accept
pictures in files (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP etc.). You can either e-mail these to us, or post them on a 1.44MB floppy
disk, or on a CD. Please be aware that some forms of picture files (like GIF) have limited colours and can
have poor image quality. For a picture file to work the image must be at least 256 colours and no smaller than
100x100 pixels, but if the image is this small, please check with us first. Please do not e-mail files
which are larger than 400Kb in size, use JPEG if possible as this will give the smallest possible file size.
-
Others:
There are other pictures, such as postcards and magazine cuttings, but unless you are sure about the
copyright, we are unable to accept these. Copyright laws prevent many images being used, please get
permission if you'd like to use one from a magazine or postcard.
