    Gina, Thanks for starting the group. Congratulations on the invitation to submit work for your local arts group. This could be fun!

    A little crow— a local arts group *asked* me to submit work to be juried for their next show! I know it still has to be juried in, but I was quite chuffed that they reached out to me.

      And they accepted all three of the works I submitted! Yay!

    Hi Judy,

    I’m having trouble with knotting the thread once I’ve completed a practice stitch. I’m wrapping the thread around the needle about 4 times and going under stitches, but the knot is always about a 1/4” above the fabric. I just can’t seem to get the knot to lay on the fabric. It’s especially bad when I do a straight stitch.
