that's VERY true! especially for something like this little game (kind of like guessing how many jelly beans are in a jar!). but typically they're asking for MY best guess on the design that I would create. so it works. i have had customers send designs that i've had to recreate where my stitch count was a LOT less than their original design. usually because they use way more underlay than necessary. i always figure that the original design came from a digitizer that charges by stitch count.

anybody else want to put in a guess before i post the finished number?

ok, i guess no other takers on the "jelly bean" game. stitch count came out to 102,577. i'm trying to import the pic of the finished design directly. fingers crossed:

None of the 5 would be wrong.. just different interpretations of the art. (unless the client specified their thoughts up front)
Every digitizer have his own way to estimate the design, i nearly have to digitize to provide quotes because client will always angry if there is much difference between quote and actual design stitches

what you did in the water area and your rope technique are VERY nice! I mean VERY in all CAPS.

thanks! that was my first time playing with the freehand tool in wilcom. that's kind of fun. i think the ropes would have been prettier done as satin stitches, but the manual stitches for the detail would have split the satin...so they were stuck as a fill.
