Lasting Allure's Model Stitching

Re: OT: My trip across the Pond
Carole, I am SOOOO jealous you get to do this.
I hope you have lots of fun and take in all that the UK has to offer. All of that history and culture stuffed into a small island compared to North America.
It will be fun! And you can pick up anything you forgot to pack there lol.

That is going to look wonderful charted up!! So vibrant and gorgeous. Can't wait to see you working on it. I will throw in that the only possible way to mute a colour is by mixing it with its complimentary colour. Also when you put a colour next to its complimentary colour it brightens both colours ...

Re: Protective spray coating (acrylic? varnish?)
For regular dusting of pieces with beads you can put a panty hose over the nossel of the vacuum for a softer dusting. This also works if you're picking up spilt beads on the carpet or floor lol. But for the most part, you're supposed to let the fabric breath. Any type of sealant won't be helpful for...

Re: Alphabet I can use in designs for sale
My suggestion would be to play around on your pattern maker and make an alphabet by yourself. Of course your alphabet isn't going to look much different from another alphabet depending on how small the lettering is, but try and make them stand out a bit from other alphabets. Also a lot of the parts ...
