Where can I find a counted cross stitch alphabet?
I'm looking for a backstitch (single line, not Xs) alphabet. I need one about 9-10 stitches high and if it was a little fancy (or at least not plain) it would be great. I've been searching on-line with no luck and even checked my local Hobby Lobby for one to buy with no result. Anyone know where I can find one? Or how I can make one with PCStitch 5? (I've only figured out how to make cross stitch alphabets with it, not backstitch ones.) Thanks in advance!
This one is only four stitches high, but I'd think you could double it fairly easily. That's what I usually do.

Here's another one that's a little fancier:

Get some graph paper and play around with altering the letters until you get what you want.
Hope this helps!
