Etsy

Etsy is home to many crafters who regularly sell their products online. While shipping (even via email) isn't instant, buying on etsy has bonuses. You get to see feedback from other buyers. You have direct contact (if you want it) with the seller even before you buy. You can also sometimes find someone who will design a printable cross stitch pattern just for you either by contacting a designer or by requesting one through Alchemy, which is for custom orders.

As time goes on and we become more internet friendly, more designers and retailers will allow electronic shipping, giving us more access to quality printable cross stitch patterns. Please check out my other article, titled Free Cross Stitch Patterns, for more patterns and websites.
