Does one tip the deliverymen who deliver new furniture? Cheryl

I'm thinking about stitching on an old flour sack tea towel. I want to use Punto Stuoia (or Rush Stitch) which is very much like bokhara couching. Can anyone tell me how many threads I need for good coverage? I'd have to spend quite a bit of time and thread to do experiments so I was wondering if...

I didn't mark this off topic because I didn't want to glean out those who might have an answer but block OT posts. My husband and I are going to become our own Internet providers. We're in the initial stages (just scratching the surface and exploring). We will get a DSL line next week and will...

I'm hoping that someone has, at least, a partial skein of Caron Watercolours 040 - Williamsburg in dye lot CS0401217 that they would let me buy from them? I'm assuming, since this is an older dye lot, that I will have trouble trying to get/match it in the stores. (I already checked with a couple of...

A friend recently saw a picture in an English magazine advertising Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum's (or Lavendar & Lace) Celtic Summer and Celtic Autumn in different colors other than the ones designed by Marilyn. Number 1 - is this legal? I hope Marilyn knows about it. I wouldn't want it to be an...

Years ago. my sister sent me a cushion project from Sweden. the thread was supplied, it was linen also. I did the embroidery and made it up. we used the cushion, which was very attractive, BUT after a time the linen thread wore away and it was spoilt. Don't let this happen to you, ...

To anyone from the northeastern part of Pa., in the town of Wilkes-Barre, a message (non Pontiac oriented) BEWARE- AVOID the Maytag appliance store on Rt. 309 by Home Depot, in Wilkes-Barre. The guy that owns it is a major jerk, he talked me into a $110 gas flow valve for my Magic Chef stove, and...

I love Trebizond or at least while I was off work I did. Now I am stitching 2 stitches at a time and its shredding like crazy. I use lotion and gloves but nothing is working. Can anyone tell me how they use silks without it fraying with every stitch? What am I doing wrong? Thanks Donna

Hi RCTNer's! I'm taking my 2 Turkish Angora cats to a cat show in San Antonio, TX in 2 weeks. I hardly ever get over to that area. Are there any really spectacular shops around there for me to visit? Thanks for any help you can send my way! Anne :)

Here it is warts and all after having finished all of the embroidery. http://runscared.blogspot.com/quilt.JPG The stains on it are Diet Coke, and they are coming out with H2O2 now that I don't need to worry about washing out my sewing lines. It is a replication of one scene from a 1390 Scilian...

We are a happily married and loving 30 and 27 year old husband and wife living in NW Indiana. Our dream is to adopt a child, but we have not been able to due to the incredible and unforseen expenses. Currently, we have a small savings or as we call it "Adoption Fund" but we need so much more to...

I generally don't make any New Year resolutions, but this year I'm making an exception. My resolution is to complete at three old projects! And NOT to start a new one until those are done. I'm 1/3 of the way through one of those projects keep me motivated! Sandra

I just had to share. I got the body of the sweater done on circular needles. I managed the fair isle at the bottom, but gave up at the top and just knitted it plain (well, it's not plain but has a small indention every 10 stitches). Now I had to learn using 4 dp needles for the sleeves. 44...

Yippee! I got to buy Crewel Yule tonight. DH got a Barnes & Noble giftcard for Christmas so we went over there tonight. When we took it out to pay for his purchases from the CD/Video department we discovered the inside card was made out to both of us (the outer envelope had only DH's name). As...

What would be a good clear/see-through thread that would be good at holding seed beads on a cross-stitch project? I have never done one with beads before. I am envisioning something like fishing line, but didn't see anything like it at Hobby Lobby. I would like to avoid switching colors all the...

I started working on "Haiku" on the first of the year and am making great progress, but have come up with a problem. The chart shows a very heavy T as one of the colors, but I don't see this listed in the key. The symbol is found in the dark browns, blacks area of the chickadee. Does anyone know...
