    Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the prices for embroidery supplies going up, up and up because of the Pandemic and the Shipping crisis at the ports?

      Marla Robb replied 4 years, 2 months ago

      It’s been bad for the whole pandemic. What I found helps is to directly contact the owner of the online store or brick and mortar that you use, tell them the kinds of things you need, and they can help you get them, or at least give you info on what is the holdup and if prices will keep going up or down.

We are to “learn a variety of finishing techniques for use with counted thread work”, but there is no mention of what type of finishing we will learn. I’d like to know before I sign up.
    Thanks, Pat

      The course outline is pretty comprehensive about what is taught, perhaps you hadn’t read it? Here is the course description of what is taught:
      This class begins with the pinkeep, the simplest of the set. The student will learn how to create a circular piece, and how to put the pinkeep together. The second piece is a needlebook and the finishing t…[Read more]
