Oh, I went to the website and got a better impression.

But I guess that it doesn't actually recognize the symbols? And leaves them all ragged so that when you zoom them they are large and ragged?

That seems like something that should already be built in.

Is there a definitive subset of symbols?

Maybe you'd like to create a new thread about handicrafts and take the cross-stitch discussion there?

Ravelry

Knits, crochet & cross-stitch.

@Amazon: Before you reship a returned item to a different chump customer, would it kill you to inspect it for missing parts? Now the chump the valued customer has the nuisance of a trip to Staples to send it back and a wait on the replacement. It's cold comfort to think that the associated costs are going to more than eat up any profit on the sale.

Remember the FASTs of stroke:

Face is drooping
Unable to raise both Arms
Speech is slurred
Time to call an ambulance

Our cleaner flaked out on us again this week. This time she fell with her moped and had to go to the hospital. She's got a sprained ankle and hopes it heals enough so she can come next week. Since mid December, when we hired her, she's been twice (her kid's been sick, she's been sick, babysitter fell through, doctor's appointment). So, as usual I picked up the slack yesterday and cleaned downstairs, the bathroom and my room I'll do tomorrow. I didn't do my sister's rooms. And she obviously isn't happy because she was rage cleaning earlier this morning. Oh well, I don't mind doing the general cleaning, but she can do her own rooms (dusting and vacuuming takes 15-20 minutes if you do it thoroughly).

We've planned to see how January goes with the cleaner and if things don't improve we'll look for another one.
