Re: Cheap Toys, Just couldn't resist heehee

Someone came up with a way to make the hobby just a little more smile on the face. It does add a colorful twist to the bobbins.

Re: Metallics: Kreinik vs. Anchor vs. DMC

I'm using Sulky metallic threads. Cost a bit extra but for less aggravation it doesn't break down/shred and is tough as nails holding up. Well worth it and looks super.

Edit 2: I conferred with the mods, and we all agreed it would be a good idea, so I've sent off an email to congratulate Mr Bramley on his accomplishment, and to invite him to look us up.

I searched more online, that's when I found the video. He is computer savvy cause he designed the Napoleon stitch work, so I'm sure there's a way to contact him. Will take some time tho. It would be great to have him on here ...

Re: I got a stitching buddy!

It's great you have your daughter interested to share the craft. Teach her well, she'll cherish the memories. I was surprised when I visited my uncle and he finished a Marylin Monroe and made the frame in his wood shop. He shared his experience in the hobby. I learned a lot.
