I'M sick of trudging thru search engines only want some cross stitch patterns?

Answer 1

The answer's in your question: cross stitches are X shaped.

Answer 2

I would suggest E-Bay, where you can not only buy commercially produced patterns but also patterns that creative people have designed from artwork or photographs using various cross stitch software programmes.

You'll also usually find on E-Bay people offering a photo conversion service where they can convert your favourite photo to a cross stitch or tapestry chart.

From the E-Bay homepage click on the Buy button, then click on Crafts. (Or follow the link below.) Under Cross Stitch you'll see several different categories; Cross Stitch Charts tends to have mainly the commercially produced ones and Cross Stitch Patterns tends to have mainly the home produced ones (though there is some crossover).

You can even search these sub-sections by subject, e.g. flowers, animals etc.

Answer 3

Hey there! Here's a helpful tip while searching: type in negatives. For example, if every link you see says "Buy this pattern" then type in -buy or -order. This is awfully helpful when you're looking up things like "Britney Spears" and all you get are pr0n pages, so you can type in -sex, etc. to filter those out.
Using this method, I found these:

Answer 4

if you get traffic to your site, search engines will index your webiste, and also it will take your keywords and give importance to your keyword. so traffic is the most important thing in internet,

there are two things:
1) one is traffic
1) second is quality traffic

am talking about a website which has a 500 arround alexa traffic rank, and about 6/10 google's page rank.

get a free back link from this site, get a lot of free traffic, in this site you get free credits, and with that you get free traffic.

everything is free, http://www.trafficswarm.com/go.cgi?53747...
just get some easy traffic, also first 50 credits will activate you account, and then you will get your 100 free credits, then on you get free credits, with that you get free traffic.
Source(s):

get a disclaimer, privacy policy, terms and conditions, site maps, etc, these helps rankings,


also http://www.harmu.com for paid quality traffic, advertise on time basis, not on cost of clicks,
