Chellie, did you feel the need to shower after ordering it or was that just me? (4 pieces of brass on less than a half foot of elastic for almost $25! :shock: )

Diana,

I was sticker shocked! I botched up my order which didn't process - thank goodness, because I thought I had seen something ...

I found the elastic clips over on Nordic Needle & went ahead & bought a set.

Thank you for the tip, I too have ordered the clips.

I use the American Dream Products E-Z Stitch Lap Stand with webbing.

@backafteradozenyrs I am glad you posted this. After picking up my needles again after being away from the craft for so long, I too just set up my stitchy spot and was on the market for a floor stand.

I still owned my scroll frame by American Dream Products, http://www.adp-usa.com/product.aspx ...

I sure will

This is my first time participating in a monthly subscription project. With getting back into the groove of stitching I thought this would be a great place to start.

Anyone else participating in this year long stitch-a-long?

Hi, happy new year! :)

I have started a stitching journal since 2008. I have it in four parts:
1. My Finished Projects
A list of all my finished projects since 1998 (photos are in a separate pic album in my external hard drive).
2. My Xstitch Stash
A record of all additional new stash I ...

I'm not one to spend a lot of time hand writing in a journal but I do like the idea of keeping track of my projects. My solution is a photo journal. I always take pictures of how the finished project will look and then all the wip photos. I have each project organized in a folder on my desktop and ...

Thank you all for the great information! All of your feedback will be a great help to me

Great Day!

With getting back into stitching, I would like to begin a stitching journal/diary.
My problem, I have never done this before, so, I need your help. Please share your tips and advice for beginning and maintaining a stitching journal/diary.

Thank you in advance!

I'm glad to have come across this thread. I was just thinking the same thing. Thank you all for the helpful replies

I learned to cross stitch when I was 8 or 9. I dabbled in all types of arts & crafts. In my late teens/early 20's a stitched a few hand towels and then nothing until a few weeks ago, I am now 33. I was cleaning out my basement and found a plastic bin filled with books and charts and a few kits, and ...

I am new to this forum & glad that it was recommended to me. I just began stitching again and I am loving every moment of it.

My new years resolutions for stitching are:
*Stitch more; improve on my technique (it's been a while)
*Take a needlework class (I have been wanting to do this for years ...

Love the fabric!

This is the one that I am looking at.

I was wrong, it uses velcro I believe.

Has anyone tried this one?

I use this frame. It comes with velcro that you attach at the end of your fabric that then ...

Very nice! I loved paper dolls as a child. Looking forward to picking this issue up!!

Merry Christmas!!

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I always stitched in hand until I joined this forum. I learned so very much here! I found qsnaps to be easier than hoops and the tension more even which gave my stitches a more even look, too. Once I used them, I never went back to inhand...

As my projects got bigger ...

Whether you're new to cross stitching, been doing it forever, or getting back into it, there is always more to learn on this forum, with lots of talented people willing to ...

Greetings!

I learned to cross stitch at the age of 9 or 10. At the age of 33 I am returning to my love of cross-stitching & hand embroidery.
I found that I still had a few supplies & books stashed away. I began a few weeks ago with small cross stitch projects. I now feel comfortable beginning a ...
