MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Dec 11 2020 : 1:34:26 PM Hey ladies I am almost finished with my cross stitch, but noticed these white lines on the pattern next to the “W”s. They go straight up , down and sideways from the groups of “W”s. Are these straight stitches? What are they and what do I do? Krista

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Dec 14 2020 : 12:47:21 PM Oh my gosh you guys are amazing!! Thank you all so much for your help! I just searched how to do that stitch on YouTube. It seems pretty simple. I will be giving it a try today. I know I have more questions as I am finishing this up but I don’t want to get to far ahead of myself lol! Grace, thank you for your compliment. Really means a lot to me. I always want to outdo myself lol. This pattern has kicked my tush but I will finish! Thanks for the highlighter tip. I can still see the symbol under my purple but a lighter color will definitely be better next time. Denise, I will definitely be sharing a picture soon. Especially since I have more questions! Krista
sherone_13	Posted - Dec 14 2020 : 06:30:26 AM I agree that it is calling for outline stitches.

katmom	Posted - Dec 12 2020 : 9:09:05 PM FYI,,, I use a yellow Hi-lighter so I can see the pattern stitch icons, in case I need to go back and fix a stitch booboo... lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Dec 12 2020 : 9:06:55 PM Krista,, the 'white' lines are known as 'outline' stitches.. in this case it is to accent the "W" white stitches to give a 'glow' look.. Outline stitches are used to give definition , ex: on a face,, the lines could be used to outline and give definition to the eye. Wow, I am impressed,, that is quite the undertaking,, this pattern for a X-stitcher newbie... Love it and your for your 'Show NO Fear" attitude! >^..^< >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
isewbernina	Posted - Dec 12 2020 : 6:56:42 PM I looked up the design and found the Artist's Name and I would email her and ask her what the lines mean. She says that she usually answers within 6 hours.

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Dec 12 2020 : 1:47:03 PM It didn't come with any instructions. Just a colored paper, a white paper (that I have used purple highlighter on to mark off what I have done), and the thread numbers. I purchased it off Etsy and then just printed out all the pdf. The pictures aren't loading right now. Let me keep trying. Krista
churunga	Posted - Dec 11 2020 : 5:28:54 PM If this is a kit with a picture, look at that. Check the pattern too. I'm not certain what I am looking at. Marie Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.
quiltee	Posted - Dec 11 2020 : 2:53:03 PM They are probably outline stitches, but I'm not sure. On the picture of what you are doing can you see an outline of a figure?
