Would you like to stitch without having to spend money for the supplies and the design? Would you love to be an important part in bringing a new cross stitch design to market? Would you love to work with a cross stitch designer? Would you be able to stitch against deadline?
Would you want to tell your significant other that you just have to stitch because you are actually working? 
I have the solution for you: I am in dire need of model stitchers!
Since Periphaeria Designs was born my life has changed so drastically that I just don’t have time to stitch much, but as I did and do design and have wide design stash just waiting to be stitched I need your help. 
If this sounds like something you might want to do here is how it goes with me:
1. I will provide you with everything you need to stitch the design: fabric, floss, needle and the design. After you are done you will get to keep the chart and leftover materials.
2. You commit to stitch the design and return it to me by mail. You don’t need to finish the item, I will do that.
3. You commit to keep track of how much floss you use and report that to me and look for charting errors in the designs, of which you will inform me.
4. You are not allowed to publish pictures about the design before it has been published. Which means no WIP pictures, but I will provide you with picture (and the design in its official form) after the launch.
5. Naturally you will not share the chart itself with anyone, not in printed or electronic form, not prior or after the design is published.
6. I am not able to pay actual money, but you get project supplies for free, keep the excess floss and there is also fame: you will be credited in the design information as a model stitcher.
7. I may ask progress pictures from you to be sent through email.
It may sound awfully strict, but actually isn’t.
If you find yourself interested I would love to hear from you at periphaeria (at) email dot com (at and dot written as corresponding symbols).
Please include also the following information:
1. Link to your blog (I love a stitchy blog as much as any other stitcher!) or online photo album – or attach some pictures to the email – containing your stitching work.
2. Are you able to stitch
- using silks or specialty fibers
- with beads
- on linen
- over one, and on how high counts?
3. How fast stitcher are you?
4. Do you have time constraints (family, work etc.) or do you have nothing but time in your hands? (This is not a selection factor per se, I just need to know.)
5. Are you confident stitching big projects, especially under deadline?
5. What is the highest count you can work on? (I use fabrics up to 40 count.)
Please note that you have to be able to stitch on evenweaves as I never use aida in my models.
I am especially looking for people who could do big projects in reasonable amount of time when needed, but do also need stitchers for small projects.
Any questions? Want to try your luck? Just email me! (Only emails. Comments regarding model stitching will not be answered – I need you to be able to understand directions, you see. )
