Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Ok so I have been thinking about getting one for a while, I talk myself in and talk myself out. But I think I have finally decided to get one. Mabelfigworthy kindly offered for me to look at hers if I was passing but I just haven't been.

On my list of jobs for this week was to order the millennium however as it was a "nice" it had to wait until the "bad" ones where done and the week ran out first!

I am now away for the weekend, although will have internet, so thought I would make this post just in case anyone is considering parting with theirs.

If not its on the list again for next week and hopefully there are not so many bad jobs in the way!

And also if no one does that means they must be as good everyone says and I will settle in for the long wait.

I wish you good luck in finding a gently used millennium. I absolutely love mine (although I really dislike the company's customer service). Keep trying - now and then I do see people here and on ebay selling theirs.

Yeah, good luck with that! I guess it's not totally impossible, but you never get if you don't ask.

Yeh I know first out in a fire and all that!

I know it's a long shot I just can't do anything else until next week now so at least feel like I am trying

Well Ive done it! Ive ordered but I am a tad confused

She says she will call me to take payment when they are ready which will probably be next week and should be despatched by the end of next week!

Really?

Wow! you just struck a sweet spot it'd seem. Lucky you if that's the case!

I think I'll be eating the hat off your smiley if it is!

Seriously I cannot imagine it is correct.....

Oh please let it be true. Do keep us informed.

Oh, I hope that's correct...that would be wonderful!

Well I've been sitting here getting aquainted with my new frame so just haven't had time to keep you posted!!

Phah haha haha

Of course I haven't didn't even get the call to pay!

If I didn't know about everyone else's experience I would have been peeved and I would have called today but I didn't think it would achieve anything....probably will end of next week tho

Well its here!!!! It took a few phone calls but it arrived this morning and I only ordered on 16/3!

From what I have heard (read) that sounds like a miracle. I think you were meant to have that frame!

I agree with Carole! You got it quickly and without several unanswered emails. Let us know how you like it. I'm still in love with mine.

Yes I am sure it is a fluke or something.

I have been home a bit and obviously the first thing I wanted to do was set it up

But u will see now I am on the Internet....and at the minute my cross stitch is back in the qsnap

I did watch the YouTube video from the lady that endorses the needle needs stuff to see how to do it and read the instructions It goes tight but I just end up with troughs and peaks. I will have to wait until the weekend I think, watch Carolyn's longer video and see how it goes from there.

has definately become

I wanted it sorted and checked because I wanted to call and check what they charged me as it wasn't what I expected.

I think maybe I was "overtired" yesterday!

I think I have managed to get it sorted now so will give it a go tomorrow.

I'm glad you managed to get yours so quickly, but I'm also a bit peeved as mine was ordered in January and I don't yet have it.

Do they maybe just send them out when people phone and ask where their order is, and not in the order in which they were ordered?

Is this a case of the squeaky wheel gets the grease?

I am feeling quite guilty if I'm honest I hadn't seen any mention of anyone ordering lately so I just thought that they were having a slow period.

I'm really sorry to everyone else

I had asked advice and was told to order by phone not online.
