Hi, I'm trying to make this flag design: http://unitednations4freetibet.com/unfft/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/TibetFlag-1.jpg
I plan to use half stitches for the sun's rays, and of course back stitch around the snow lions. However, I'm not sure how to make their faces clear, or the detail of the items they are holding. What stitches should I use for those? Obviously there's a lot of backstitching, but what else should I use?

Also, should I make the whole thing 14 count or 18?

Jenn,

First - your link didn't work right. I'll try to fix it in a minute.

As for your questions - these are not the kind of questions that I usually see here. It's primarily design decisions that maybe only you can make. It also depends on what effect you want to achieve.

As for the count - you have to consider the size of the final project as well as the detail. The smaller stitches will give more detail and to get the same kind of detail in the larger stitches will result in a larger project.

I got the link to work and in the process, got the "google" out of it and a much cleaner image!

Thanks!

I'd really like to see some photos other people have used, and how their designs turned out. Maybe someone has done something similar. Is there a link for that somewhere?

Actually, over 90% of the messages posted here concern problems with the software and other issues such as requests for new features.

I don't think anybody has ever posted work done as a result of this software anywhere on this site. Many blogs and sites have images of peoples work but I've never heard of any specifically PCStitch.
