Hi all,

As well as the places mentioned above, others have been able to get them from Colonial Needle and Needle in a Haystack, which will ship from the US.

You can also buy them direct from John James (but I’m not sure what shipping is like!), which is where I buy all my needles including embroidery, chenille and tapestry  (you can also bu…[Read more]

Hi Virginia,

I’ve never done a certificate of completion before, is this done via the EGA?  Alternatively if there is a standard form used by the certification programme, I can use that?

Thanks,

Joanne,

This looks great!

Not a silly question on the transfer – I had a rubber stamp made up, and I use that and a fabric specific ink pad to transfer the designs on. It works great for smaller designs and is nice and quick when I’m making kits. For larger designs I use my Cricut with a Gelly Roll pen.

Best wishes,

Sarah

I made reductions to the core threads of my trailing after doing a sample with the original number.

I found that because my lines were not as long as some in certain of the letters I was able to get a better look. I began with 10 threads for the letter and I reduced the oval to 6 threads from the original 8 to keep things in proportion. It’s NOT…[Read more]

Kudos to you, Marjorie!  It looks very good.

I finally started stitching today but ended up cutting out all my work

because the counting did not fit inside the area.  I’m discouraged.

It was good to see yours, to know it does all work out!

<p style=”text-align: center;”>I got mine from 123 Stitch. They were $2.96 for two, shipping is always $3.49 no matter how big your order and the shipping is speedy, 2-5 days. I bought 3 packages!</p>

I picked up a couple of packages at Salty Yarns in Berlin, MD.

You can get the needles from Amazon.   Make sure you put in your search “john james curved beading needles”.   They are more expensive but it equals out if you buy them from an embroidery shop because you have to pay shipping there.  Of course that’s if you have Amazon prime.    Otherwise put that information in your search engine and they will…[Read more]

Lynette,

This looks lovely! Your monogram is so neat and delicate. I love the macaron needle minder as well!

Hi Florance,

When I’m working this stitch, I work down with my normal stitch length until I’m about 3 stitches from the end – I then mentally divide the remaining line into 3 and slightly adjust the stitch length up or down to perfectly fill the remaining line. I find it best to do over 3 rather than 2 s the length adjustment is then not…[Read more]

Hi Marjorie, I love it!!! The bees make total sense with the color you chose for those circles. I am glad enjoyed it and thanks for sharing.

See you soon!
