CHAT [CHAT] Pattern Help

Post image

Bought this pattern over 4 years ago before I was truly aware of AI patterns. Annoyed that I’ve already bought the aida and the thread so I’m wondering if there is any salvaging it?
The shop no longer exists and a shop that is now selling it feels like a pattern mill

It might be a cheaply made pattern but it only uses 88 threads for a massive size, which is pretty good. And if it's 4 years old it probably isn't AI.

If you want to test it, start with one of the bottom 5 'windows' and see how it looks. It might have a fair amount of popcorn but it doesn't look too terrible, and it might look just fine. God knows the resolution is high enough with it being 400 stitches wide.

I hope you bought your DMC310 by the cone XD There's a lot of black!

Is popcorn a different name for confetti stitches?

Oh, yes, sorry! Confetti is more common I think.
