Thank you. I glad you liked my video. I LOVE my stand.

I've been looking for a cross stitch floor stand, but didn't find any that I liked. I happen to watch a youtube video that demonstrated the Millennium stand and loved it. I went on line and found it. I thought it was a bit pricey for the amount if stitching that I have done so far. I came up with an ...

I use a "cross stitch" purse. I have a fairly large purse that I use just for my cross stitching on the go. It has 3 sections (one zipper part and two side pockets).

In the zipper section, I have: WIP, clipboard, and hoop. I keep my cross stitch wip (either in a ziploc bag or its' plastic ...

Thanks for the great tutorial!

I've been wanting to make one.

I may have a solution for you.

The pattern I am working on now calls for DMC Gold Metallic Floss. I tried working with it and hated it.

So, I went to Michael's and bought a satin floss in its place. I bought S3820.

I hope this helps.

Okay. Here's my two cents worth. :D

Have you tried replacing your scroll rods with the same size dowel rods?

That is what I am going to do when I start my HAED design. My pattern is too large for a hoop. I don't have Q snaps, but I have a scroll frame.

Unfortunately, my rods are not wide ...

Next question.

Would I use one or two threads for 18ct or 22 ct?

Maggie. . . .I know. . .I wouldn't say it's a quick stitch either! More like a life time stitch!!

Okay, I'm going to start my first HAED cross stitch project. . . .Mad Hatter by Hannah Lynn. My goal is to get it done for Christmas so that I can give it to my daughter as one of her presents.

I've only stitched on 14 ct Aida. If I were to do this project on 14 ct, it would be HUGE! I'm thinking ...

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome.

I finished stitching my family tree project. :dance: Now I just have to frame them. Once they are done, I will take a picture and post it.

I have two projects lined up now.

1. Home for the Holidays--An Amish picture. A Christmas present to be given ...

Thank you for the welcome.

My family tree cross stitch project has been a "portable" project. 75% of it was done while waiting for my husband's eye treatments to be done. . . . .hours at a time!

I'll post pictures of it when I'm done.

Hello,

I know I'm a little late in the game, but I have the same Brother sewing machine as you do! :) I love mine; however, I had problems with it in the beginning. Here's my story:

It was crunch time and I needed to finish sewing my daughter's long gown for a performance. My old Brother sewing ...

Thank you.

I'm sure once I am ready to start the parking method I will have A LOT of questions.

I would like to post some pictures.

Hello,

I'd like to introduce myself.

I live in the upper eastern part of New York. I am a wife, mother, and nurse.

I love anything that involves a needle and thread. I guess you could say I'm a Jill of all trades, but a master of none. I like to sew, cross-stitch, crochet, and knit.

Right now ...
