Welcome to the first NSFW Saturday post!
Here at Mr X Stitch, we realise that the world of embroidery is changing and a new wave of stitchery artists are producing fantastic works of art using needles and threads. We pride ourselves on seeking out the newest pieces from the freshest stitchers and sharing them with you. And we hope that the works you see on here will inspire you to try new things.
But the world moves forward and the pioneers of contemporary stitching are exploring more exotic topics. Sex, drugs and rock’n'roll are all being featured in stitches these days, and we think it’s a good thing. For any medium to evolve it has to explore the limits of what is possible before finding a natural state within those limits.
So we’re going to help!
WARNING!
NSFW SATURDAYS WILL CONTAIN CONTENT THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
IF YOU READ THESE POSTS, AND ARE OFFENDED, WE’RE SORRY BUT WE DID WARN YOU!
Kitty says "Are you sure you want to carry on reading?!"
Each week, NSFW Saturdays will bring you something new from the world of stitch that you wouldn’t necessarily show your grandma.
Things like Boocifer’s triumphant cross stitch sampler, that pretty much covers all the bases, with some really nice finishing.
We aren’t afraid to show a bit of sex. Realistic or unrealistic. If it feels good, we’re gonna do it. Always Inspired reminds us that the Karma Sutra is still on the money.
And yes, we’re not afraid of swear words. Language should never be a barrier – even if it’s filthy. Mooosh takes it to the limit, but with a wicked sense of humour.
And Spamberly helps us address the final frontier. Porn exists. Get over it.
Let’s just set the record straight. We’re not just going for cheap thrills. This is about the evolution of stitching and challenging people’s perceptions. The quality of the work is essential.
And just to prove the point, we leave you with a selection of work that we’ve already featured that sets the standard:
Penny Nickel’s frisky pillowcases.
Rachel McKay stitches Christian Bale’s eloquent expressions.
Mr X Stitch’s Bad Mofo embroidery.
Ruby42′s now legendary lesbian porn.
People, this is history. The world of stitchery just changed. And it changed for the better.
How do you feel?

YEAH!
I am thrilled and absolutly flabberghasted (I’ve always loved that word, and now I get to use it! Doesn’t it sound nasty?!) that one of my works made it! I have plan for another naughty stitchery in the near future as well. I love all the subversive style stitching! Taking Grandma’s craft into the unknown!
Yay for NSFW Saturdays!
Y’all are bringing the fun back to Saturday mornings! I’m looking forward to broadening my horizons without leaving my sofa!
Boocifer! Moosh! Spambery (my first favorite on etsy)! Oh!
This is the equivalent to the thrill I used to have with Saturday morning cartoons! Awesome!

OF
THIS!
Good job to everyone involved with this!
Well if that doesn’t just complete this site’s total awesomeness!
YES.
I’m Tanya and I approve this NSFW Saturday post.
Awesome, Jamie! I love naughty embroidery.
I feel so happy – this literally brought tears to my eyes. It’s like I’m the oldest gay man in the world at his first gay wedding. I’ve found my people and they are so free and doing whatever they want to do! Stitching all the stuff I’ve always hesitated to, some that I would never have the nerve to do… you guys are making me cry happy tears!! I’m such a sap!!
I may have been one of the first to step out here into the arena, but I can’t even describe the joy it brings me to find there are so many more of you stepping right there with me and surpassing me to push the limits even more. It’s awe-inspiring. Thanks, Mr X Stitch for bringing us together!! I needed the inspiration!!
I suddenly feel so vanilla. I need some x rated stitching in my life.
This was a triumph. I’m making a note here: huge success.
Hell yeah! Very exciting!
well holy fuckin shitballs. spring has sprung and so has mr x!
well done!
Hurrah for some x-rated cross stitch! About time too and all IMHO!
I have in the stash some naked pics of men (“Chisel” being one of them) which are so much better than just seeing fantasy women with large breasts. Unfortunately their manhoods are covered discretely (grrr!) with towels or sheets which is a shame!
Titter…In the words of Dick Emery…you are awful…but I like you! x;)
