Great info. Now know why I was getting do many ##$* knots. I like a laying tool but it isn't always convenient. Ie. No floor stand.

Over on Donna's blog, she has been talking about an article in the most recent EGA magazine. Near the end, she said this: "Lastly, a question. How old when you when you started stitching? I think a majority of us tell of some experience in our youth that made us familiar with it when we were...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone on the list has stitched the "American Sampler" by Sandy Orton? I was going to start last year but life got in the way. Now I am ready but have so many questions. Does anyone know of a online sample or tutorial of the Queen Stitch? Is it recommended I "graph"...

I would like to know if there is any cross-stitch shops in Ft Bennings, GA?? I will be coming down there with my family to my step-son's graduation at the Army area. He will be going to Army after the training. We will be staying somewhere there for few days. I would love to know which shops...

According to an article in yesterday's Weekend section of The Wall Street Journal crewel is enjoying a revival, especially among younger stitchers, and non-traditional patterns are very big. This was news to me, but the journal did give a url for a crewel designer website I hadn't seen...

There's been a lot of talk recently about people stitching in rotation. What does that really mean?? If, as I assume, it means stitching one project one day and then another the next or something like that, then how long does it take to complete something??? Are there any tips out there to make...

Just curious... is anyone else planning to start this chart sometime soon? I know we were discussing samplers a few weeks ago and thought perhaps a group all working together might be fun. Pat in NY

Since we've had the complaint that we're discussing everything BUT needlework, what *is* everyone doing as we approach the gift-giving holidays? I (sigh) don't remember the last time I picked up my XS. I was working on Sesame Street on Halloween between doorbell-ringers, and I think that was...

Thanks, but I spent much more than that. I expected nothing, but since I know you are full of spite (self-proclaimed) I guess it was your way of getting to me. Didn't work.

Yesterday I purchased a pattern called Needlepoint Rainbow Sampler, simply because I like the vibrant colors and the different stitches used. What I didn't notice at the time, though, was the variety of threads that the pattern calls for. Eeek! Major shopping and storage required if I don't...

Monday I brought my knitting to my mammogram appointment - I am making DD a scarf out the "fake fur" yarn. The other women were so busy playing with it, I took out my purse project and got more oohs and ahhs. Sent them all to A.C. Moore for the yarn and to the LNS for the cross stitch stuff. Going...

I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. I stitched a grape pattern from Just Cross stitch - the one in the August, 2001 issue - that I want to make into a bell pull. I printed Tia Mary's instructions on making a bell pull. Here's my question: I need to line this sucker with a material that...

I can't ever remember the term Left Handed Needlepoint. To me needlepoint is needlepoint no matter if you stitch holding the needle with the left hand or the right hand. I use either hand and to me a stitch is a stitch. Now having said that, The other day I came across the term "Reverse...

I was looking at an embroidered envelope on the Caron collection website: http://www.caron-net.com/04junefiles/jun04cla.html The embroidery part is pretty straightforward, but does anyone know how to assemble the whole thing? TIA, Lee

I'd like to needlepoint a rug that is 40 inches wide and 57 inches long. The cost of the kit (stenciled canvas, yarns, charts) is almost $600. I have lots of needlepoint experience, but never anything this large. I have looked at floor frames to mount this on, but all the ones I can find cost...
