Thanks, ladies, for all of your suggestions. Actually, I prefer to have as many cross stitches in my designs as possible, so don't see how those could be incorperated into a design copied from a coloring book or any other place. One question for all of you: How do you decide whether to use two strands of embroidery floss or three when you do something lightweight like pillowcases? I, personally, have been using two strands. I came across one that said to use three and I thought it looked too gaudy. Opinions?
