Out of Print Cross Stitch Patterns

I was pondering a question the other day as I shelled out $59 for an out of print cross stitch pattern--what is the best way to find these "hard-to-find" cross stitching charts? The best way I've found so far is an auction site, such as ebay.com or quins-auction.com.

Another way to go about acquiring some of these charts at lower prices is to compile a stash "wish list". For my own personal list, I created a free photo hosting account and found pictures of all the things I wanted. Then, I post them on the message boards I frequent and, every now and then, there is a nice cross stitcher willing to "enable" and will sell you a used chart off your list for a low price, or even trade for something you have that might be on their list.

There are other way to locate these charts, too, but most of them require good old fashioned luck. Thrift shops will sometimes have some charts and garage/yard sales is another place you might just happen upon these rare goodies!

No matter what method you choose, just remember that, although they might be hard to find, SOMEONE has them, so don't give up!
