I just found a great freebie on Classic Stitches. However, the project calls for Anchor Pearl Cotton in Emerald Green (230), Deep Pink (87) and White (01). Does anyone know where I could find a DMC pearl cotton conversion or do I just use the same numbers as the floss? Thanks.

First I have do say that I don't really sew, not with a sewing machine. I don't need an expensive embroider machine, I do THAT by hand :) What I MAY need is something to help me do hems when something needs re-doing for whatever reason, and to finish certain kinds of liturgical embroidery projects...

I just posted about a chart I am interested in that I offered to pay for -- even if it is a bit worn, etc. This made me think about how we keep track of where we are in our stitching. I have tried the metal plate with the magnets and that hasn't worked for MOI. I have also tried those static...

I am taking a break from my doodle pad to ask for some help from you who also love forums, free forums. There is a crisis happening in alt.binaries.crafts.pictures where we swap machine embroidery files freely. Our very quiet nexus of the Internet has been invaded by a lady calling from...

I wonder who this nitwit is who is flooding the group with her/his stupid message. Needless to say I have deleted them all, mainly unread, and sure as hell won't be checking into her/his site. Some people really do bug me! Gillian. in full GOW mode
