My hand accidently slipped whilst I was doing some needlework, and the needle speared my penis. What can I do to resolve the aforementioned situation?

I haven't really seen or heard of actual chat room like the chat rooms used to be. Yahoo. has all kinds of needlework groups they exchange patterns (non copyrighted) thru email. Some of the groups also play games and have gift exchange for the different holiday's,. It is really fun. I have not...

I posted over at the sewing group with no answer, so I was hoping you could help me. I am in the midst of my first pair of insulated drapes (1 panel done). They are just a plain panel, no ties, about 115"x62", made of a velvety-suede material, the innerlining and the lining, and are quite heavy. I...

I am looking for a photo of this design. Someone gave me the pattern, but didn't send me the photo and it was so long ago I forgot who I traded with. I can't find it online and I put the pattern together, but cannot get a vision of what it looks like. I'd hate to stitch it to discover it is very...

Many years ago, I was an avid reader of this group. I was involved with a Round Robin that was formed within this group and it was a wonderful experience. I had to let go of this group when I went back to get my master's degree. I finished my degree in 2000, but then my husband has contratracted...

The Stafford Loan program is administered in two different ways. The institution can elect to be a "Direct Lending" school in which case the loan funds are sent by the government directly (electronically) to the school. Banks, per se, are not involved. Other schools follow the older method where...

I am currently looking for the 5 inch wide plastic hanger tags with a tab for info (eg. DMC number) for the floss-a-way bags. I purchased a number of the boxes a number of years ago. I have the boxes with the hanging rods and the bags. I am looking for the hangers to adhere to the bags so I can...

In 1982 Paternayan changed their Persian yarn color numbering system. In 2006 on this site there was a discussion thread about the availability of a conversion chart of the old to new color numbers. Elderberry22 kindly started making a list of the old to new numbers, but the posting stopped...

Hi everybody! This is a little different than recent posts, so I thought I would start a new subject. In a month, I will be going on my honeymoon to Niagara Falls via train. (I know, I will freeze my butt off :) ) The train trip is about 7 hours each way, so you can bet I am bringing stitching. ...

How can I find out who won the categories at this and are there indeed pictures online?

How long is everyone's list of finished needlework pieces as opposed to your list of works in progress. Here is what I have compiled so far from my own stash. W.I.P. Jean McIntosh's 'English Garden' Babs Fuhrmann's 'A Winter Scene By Moonlight' My own chart from photograph ~ finished will be 7"...

Ok, I resurrected a UFO. It is Indigo Rose's Mother to Daughter Sampler. I had put it aside when I got to area #14. It had queen stitches in a twisted knot pattern. I remember why put it down :-P . Well that section is now done!!!!! I have also progressed to the last side of the nutmeg designs...

I completed a piece of crewelwork back in 1981, and the background has become discolored. What is the best way to clean it? I'm not sure, but I think the background is cotton.

Hello all, I have been enjoying reading all the posts but now am going to ask you for some advice. I have stitched for a number of years, but mostly antique sampler reproductions. Now I am taking the plunge to do a complex pattern with intricate shading. It is Cob Cottage by Cross My Heart - one...
