    Does anyone know what type of frame this is? I have googled brooch embroidery/needlepoint frame and I find people selling a finished product like the picture or plain wooden frames. I’m at a loss on what else this frame could be called or where to buy them.

      Hi Jessica – it looks like a brooch blank that has been filled with petit-point. Probably stitched in a small count silk gauze. Mary Corbet has articles on stitching on silk gauze. It’s usually taped into small mat board for stitching, using one strand of silk or cotton floss. I didn’t see any blank jewelry settings exactly like this, but if you…[Read more]

    Hello glove-makers! I know many of you might be waiting until the cooler weather is closer before you begin making your gloves. After the vinyl is folder for awhile, use a warm hairdryer to flatten it before making the placement guide. I hope to see some gloves posted at any time during appliqué or construction.
