A question to you - are the Japanese stitches drawn the same as US or did you have to figure out a conversion (much like UK stitches and US stitches).<br /><br />And as a side note: fpdc is not hard at all - in fact, I'd say it's a lil easier than a normal dc :) I have a video on my blog that you can check out for just that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901513524552405607noreply@blogger.com
