Hi, I'm Amanda of BAD Stitch. I'm a cross stitch pattern designer! You probably know this if you're clicking the link to get here. You clicked, thank you!
Let's AMA!
How this will roll:
Ask a question in the comments. Note: your comment/question will be visible to everyone—if that's not obvious. Please be kind.
You can ask about anything I write or post about, but here are some ideas: designing process, inspiration, how I do collaborations, what my favorite color is, anything cross stitch or zinemaking, etc.
If I don't feel comfortable answering, I'll let you know. No harm, no foul.
This is open to anyone!
I will make a blog post next week (~March 8, 2025) answering your questions, so please be sure to hit Subscribe!
Contingency plan: If I don’t get many questions before the weekend, I’ll keep the AMA open and answer in a month. There’s a possibility I’m not as cool as I think.
Happy stitching!
Amanda
Which of your designs are you most proud of?
You make zines! I love this (and thank you, the world needs more of them). How can I get some to share with my community?
Do you ever make zines on topics other than cross stitch? (How to be a better trans ally, or sketches and design work, for example)
(Your Crow in the Hawthorn design is one of my favorites and I keep looking at it, noticing more each time. (Then again, I’m quite partial to corvids) I thought you should know. Please keep designing like this!)
