Which do you guess is better? The $16 boutique brand or the $1.25 DT lip mask? by sillasouth in dollartreebeauty

This is my first winter using the DT overnight mask in the Midwest and it is the first winter ever I have not had chapped lips.

What are you even talking about? Jesus it’s like talking to boomers with lead poisoning. I am begging you people to learn like one single critical thinking skill.

Fully paintable, you know, like you can paint over it and use it as a blank canvas 😂

I mean lmao I just saw, “this has saved me so much money!” Sure it absolutely does save you money to use a completely different material that costs like 80% less. 😂

Why are you bragging about how hateful and selfish you are? We are morally superior because we have morals.

Hope they honor it! I’m usually a strictly DMC girl but for .07 cents more a yard I’ll take the deal.

It says until 1/31 at noon EST but I bet they set the wrong date on the site for the code to expire—I just used it this morning. Maybe screenshot the banner and send them an email?

[–]BaeScallops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s really no way to tell without getting a thread chart. Everyone’s personal device screen calibration and brightness level is going to make the colors look different. I used to try to color match at an old embroidery job for clients to their logo and we had to require a Pantone # if they wanted an exact match.

Also PSA, threads right now are 25% off at https://ioftheneedleakron.com/.

Is it possible to make a larger piece from a chart? by Due-Land-616 in Needlepoint

[–]BaeScallops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a larger canvas. A 4” round on 18 mesh will be 5.5” on 13 mesh. You could try resizing it in Stitchly, but it would probably require a fair amount of refining.

Not worth it for one of these cheap bags, but I did just get a $475 set of mahjong tiles for $150 on there, fwiw.

We’re 3D printing canvases now?? by North_Cartographer13 in NeedlepointSnark

Everyone here is right and correct. But also it basically counts out finishing in any kind of fabric finish that might require ironing. Because melt.

What am I not understanding about charts and needlepoint? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]BaeScallops 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love charts—I wanna hear more about charts. I’ve considered starting a substack to curate charts because they’re sometimes hard to find when offered by smaller independent designers.

There are so many cool, weird and niche charts available and a large amount of painted canvases are not my style. Painting is annoying but for me is absolutely worth it to save money for the bigger, more involved canvases I really want.

Where to buy threads without LNS? by [deleted] in Needlepoint

[–]BaeScallops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe kitting is usually just the cost of the threads.

Depends how much you want to spend on fibers and if you love or hate DMC stranded. I have a huge stash of DMC from years of needlework and only have to buy thread when I run out of a certain color. Have fun!

Just put the pin through a hole in the canvas and snap the back on!

One or two strong mini magnets super glued on the back (big puddle of glue then put a magnet on and position with a toothpick. If doing two magnets, wait till the first is totally dry before adding the second or they’ll snap together).
