I have a Christmas piece that I stitched a few years ago and am finally getting around to framing. It was a kit and came with a frame. The frame is shaped like a house with a pointed roof at the top, 2 parallel walls and a floor. The frame is subdivided into 4 rooms and an attic under the roof. ...

I finished my son's birth sampler the other night. I had posted awhile ago asking for suggestions for one that wasn't too cutesy. I ended up designing my own sampler. It is the biggest project I've ever designed by far. It is a band sampler with some pulled thread work, drawn thread work,...

Hi, I have a Lowery floor stand and would like to buy the magnetic copy holder accessory. There are two holders, one for the stainless steel model and one for the silver gray model. The diameter of the L bar is different, 12mm for the ss and 15 mm for the silver gray. I would like to order from...

Hi, I have a Lowery floor frame which I love, but I am interested in purchasing a lap frame. The only one I could find information on is K's creation. I can't decide between the Original Adjustable Lapframe or the Z-Frame Lapframe which is open sided. There is also the La Petite Lapframe which is...

Does anyone know if black floss is colorfast ? Wondering if anyone has worked with it and it bled... I want to do a redwork quilt in black threads with a toile or french border. I have the patterns ready to go but before I bother to test the black thread wondered if anyone has done this already....

If any colors have been proven not colorfast please add them here. I am using it for embroidery on an already done quilt. Thanks a bunch. barbara

I keep going back into google my account and saying I want my nickname showing and not my email address and it still shows. Can anyone tell me how to stop it? barbie

I ordered a book from Amazon and know one of you will be able to answer this question. I found a project I want to do in there but the book is expensive and I would like to keep it nice. Will a knitting chart in color-- this one is purple-- copy at a normal printer in black and white ? I would...

Where do you all buy the magazine? The best price I have so far is $22 a year. Has anyone found somewhere cheaper to subscribe it from ? barbie

Even though I have been playing with this on and off for years, I finally found a use for the textile so will finish them all now. I think there are 12. I am going to do them and then make a black/white toile quilt. I purchased 10 yards of French toile with lovely French country scenery on it...

I started working on and almost 2/3rds done already on my first piece; a larger parterre I sketched out at Colonial Williamsburg and doing it in french knots. I have found this quite enjoyable. It turned out 3 inches square but next time doing it smaller. The miniature is what it is all about. ...

I was told at our last EGA meeting that since they could not have scissors on the air flights any more they used these to keep the thread in and then used it cutter. A couple of days later I thought about it and what good will this do if you can not have a needle to sew with? Am I missing...
