How long in length should you cut your floss to work on a project.

I'm looking for cotton stuffing for pincushions, etc. I know I can use fibrefil but I'd like to use some all-natural stuff. The cotton batting from the quilt store just isn't what I'm looking for... does anyone know of a source on this side of the ocean? I see it sold on websites in England...

You may remember a few months back that I mentioned a horrible accident where three 18 year old boys died in a car accident ten days after they graduated from hight school. Since one of the boys used to come into the library regularly with his mom & three brothers, I wanted to stitch something to...

Anyone tried this? My daughter, Jane, discovered it at the Suffolk Agricultural show and has started it - it looks like fun and the results are very good. She`s making a belt at the moment, but wants to make a rug - presumably by sewing the strips together. It seems like the sort of thing that...

I need an idea for a little gift for a Doctor. I'm making a bookmark for his Nurse Practitioner and now I'm trying to find something for him. A bookmark would be nice because I know he reads a lot, but I don't want it to be the usual caduceus. I did a little looking but most of what I saw is...

I have some light green floss wrapped on a bobbin, the color number is 584. I don't know who's floss it is (I just have the color number off of the floss label, I didn't keep the brand name). Does anyone know who's floss this is, what brand? TIA, Audrey

So, just thought I'd share a small whine. After waiting 3 weeks for the "formal offer from HR" - once again - no job. The very nice HR chief sent me an e-mail - essentially saying that their corporate HQ in Germany has told them to hold off on new hires until after the 1st quarter. But...

I have a needlepoint that calls for some hand embroidery to complete the canvas. ( Its a christmas stocking) However, somewhere along the line, I have misplaced the instuctions on how to do one certain technique. It is a "fringe" like seem on the end of a scarf or on a table cloth done with...

Rather like O.J. Simpson, the 'bushy haired stranger' who according to her had done it never materialized. Suppose it was the same bushy haired man that Dr Sam Shepard (the inspiration for The Fugitive) saw in his house the night his wife was killed? Caryn Blue Wizard Designs

The Firehouse Angel is ready for her trip to the next stitcher. I finished most of her cape on the right-hand side. I'll take a picture of her tomorrow. Would someone let me know where to send her next? I enjoyed stitching her. I have never done an angel before, samplers are my thing, but this...

I would like to make embroidered versions of some selected famous oil paintings but I have no idea weather people like this kind of art style or not. Does anyone have any ideas about it? We did make some of silk embroidery paintings that you can view them at http://EmbroideryArtwork.com. Thanks.
