Diamond Symbol In Crochet Chart Full Coverage Cross
Size MattersDue to the fixed tiles-per-cm size of the canvas choosing the size of your image is especially important as a lot of large full coverage cross-stitch charts would end up being huge when done as a diamond painting. Some pre-printed charts have the image printed on so that they fill in the gaps between the round drills but round drills don’t line up well without a lot of work.Image credit - Toby Murphy Comparison Cross-stitch to Diamond PaintingHere are some images comparing cross stitching to diamond painting, both of these were charted with the thread-bare app.Thread-bare Timepiece - stitched by Nancy IhaszThis is a higher resolution version of the image so produces a finer detail than diamond painting can for the equivalent size.Thread-bare Timepiece - diamond painting by Toby MurphyAlthough a lower resolution the tiles give a more ‘solid’ looking and brighter appearance.Timepiece charted by Thread-Bare - completed by Toby MurphyThis chart is a available for purchase through the thread-bare storeFrom the images above you can see that the diamond painting has a higher sheen due to the faceted drills and the colors seem very vivid and the coverage is denser than stitching which has a more delicate finish.Note: the diamond painting version was converted specifically for use with diamond painting and the colors made more saturated to give a more colorful result.
