As I have mentioned before, I am working on The Nativity by Heaven & Earth. It's a project that is done with two threads over one, and it is LARGE. The fabric I am using is 25 count Lugana. Since I will be going to my local needlework shop tomorrow, I thought I would ask advice today and hope...

question for those who've done Tribute to Old Masters by [email protected]
Hi everybody-- I've just purchased the chart for Tribute to the Old Masters by Nouveau Encore Designs. The finished size on 32-ct fabric is 27 x 27, which means that the fabric size should be about 33 x 33. Clearly, that won't fit on my Artisan Designs needlework frame--or any other frame I've...

Question about scroll frames by Danny Breidenbach
Hi -- I generally use Q-Snaps to hold my work, and I'd had no major problems. I have a question about scrolls, though. Do the scrolls hold one's work taut enough all the way around to allow for easy stitching? That's one really nice thing about Q-Snaps: if the piece gets a little loose, one simply...

click button on ott light by Martha[_7_]
I have a desk lamp from Ott light. Model #pl9768. The click button to turn it on kept sticking and last night it completely stopped. I took apart the base and looked inside. It looks like an easy fix, but I can't figure out how to get the click button working again. It just looks like the pieces...

Eyes -- an update by Danny Breidenbach
I got my fancy new "old man" glasses two days ago. Progressive lenses. Fancier than no-line bifocals, but they follow the same idea. So far so good on general usage about town, although I just generally feel more aware of my glasses than usual. The best I can describe it is as having sort of a...

Eyes by Danny Breidenbach
At the ripe young age of 46, my eyesight is getting problematic. Hard to see the small stuff. If I take off my glasses, I can hold my work real close and see the holes BETTER than with my glasses; however, holding anything that close makes my eyes start to cross. My astigmatism just makes it...
