Welcome Venetian1 I'm sorry, I don't know of any businesses who can turn a photo into a cross stitch pattern, only the online versions. Could you have another go at embroidering it? I practise the stitches on a 'spare' piece of fabric if they are new to me. It does take time but worth the effort. If you need help, I can always help you here or recommend some awesome websites and you tube clips. Another reference I use an awful lot is the needleworking book The Royal School of Needleworking. It has a LOT of information and ideas in it and 'how to'. I bought mine on Book Depository two Christmas' ago and it is already well thumbed. Sometimes I go through it just to admire the photos lol.
Thank you Kiwimade for this - it is not the actual stitching that is the problem but the pattern. I am wanting to do portraits of children but donÔÇÖt want them to look too pixelated- the last one I did the pattern makers were so good they tweaked the pattern several times so as to get the colours right.
there were about 8 colours in the eye which gave it a lovely natural look. Took me months to do as I used a fine count fabric but well worth it.
