Here are the dates to save as Steotchalong 7 approaches: July 27 – New FB Group Opens, and Team Registrations Begin August 3 – Thread List announced August 17 – Pattern 1 … then a new pattern every Saturday until October 26 – Pattern 11 If you’re new to Steotchalong, be sure to check out the explainer. For 2019: the pattern returns to the spirit of the first four Steotchalongs – instead of picking your own images and colors, we’re back to sharing the same central image. The pattern should work well for all skill levels – weeks 1-9 are all cross stitches or quarter stitches, and week 10 backstitching – before the final pattern presents a number of options for further customization. As always, this event is focused on building community and having fun – and the pattern will be made available on a pay-what-you-want basis. There’s nothing you need buy (aside from the materials) and no where to sign up. Just join the FB group and stay tuned to our social media feeds for updates.

Steotchalong Eve
What to expect – what happens next? Saturday at 9pm EDT, we will broadcast live on our official Facebook page (not in our private Facebook group). During that broadcast, Pattern 1 will be posted and the Steotchalong will begin. The steotch.com servers will almost certainly not be capable of serving everyone who attempts to grab the pattern at that moment. Last year the servers appeared to be down for periods of 5-10 minutes each week for many users, until the traffic lightened up. This year, the pattern will be simultaneously posted to the Steotchalongers Group, using their servers to stay online. Pay What You Want Since its inaugural season, the Steotchalong has been a strictly pay-what-you-want event. Through the generous support of each year’s participants, we continue to be able to offer this arrangement. If you are unable to pay, you are welcome to participate fully in the event. If you are able to offer a little more, your support will go a long way towards ensuring future Steotchalong events. This year, payment links will be posted in the pattern PDFs, not separately on the website. This helps us feel more assured that payment information will be available to those who are seeing the patterns (in case the pattern links get shared outside our website, as they often do) – and it also allows us to post the pattern via Other People’s Servers. Which will help everyone tremendously. Because of the unique nature of the pay-what-you-want setup and mystery pattern,...
Steotchalong 5: The “Official” Endings
Steotchalong 5 began with a Bible verse, and concluded with 14 possible ‘official’ endings. Our hundreds of steotchalongers remixed and remade all of them – plus many more of their own creation. But before we share some of those – here are the endings we designed, as stitched by our gentle participants:
Steotchalong 5 – The End!
Steotchalong 5 has now closed; patterns may become available at some future date, but are, for the time being, stashed away in the Steotch Vault. This was the biggest, craziest, funnest year by far. We’ll be reviewing your submissions and announcing contest winners soon. Huge thanks to everyone who played along – more coming very soon. Much love, Us
