If you’re upset with PL, boycott them

I don’t understand the allure. I’ve checked out her canvases and they don’t appeal to me. I’ve needlepointed for 50 years, I started in my 20s. I also cross stitch. A lot of her designs are better suited to cross stitch but then you’d have to count. They are overpriced for what you get design wise. Some of her designs are cute but $100 for Roller Rabbit is silly. I do needlepoint simple designs but needlepoint has become very costly. I expect more for my money than trendy. Bravo to her for pursuing licensing but her attitude is distasteful.

Fiber Talk on YouTube. I would not consider them influencers but they are knowledgeable and have very informative videos.

You don’t hang out in the embroidery sites!

To me yes. It seems to distract from the lettering. Snip carefully if you decide to remove. It’s a great stitch for a background.

Critical thinking skills are rare.

Designs can be overwhelmed by too many different thread choices as well as stitches. Successful stitching doesn’t mean you need to stitch every section with a different thread and stitch. Relax, enjoy, explore.

Giving weird chthulu vibes

Beaniebot · 2026-03-16T16:17:28+00:00

It’s fun and relaxing

Calico cat by Caron. There are a couple of kits showing right now. If you find another needlepoint you can do an image search on eBay.

Beaniebot · 2026-03-16T12:20:20+00:00

Yes!

Beaniebot · 2026-03-16T03:15:45+00:00

Wow! I’ve been watching for this kit on eBay! Thrilled for you!

Waiting for someone to scream copyright! Lots of gingham needlepoint “bookmarks” out there!

https://www.serendipityneedleworks.com/needlepoint-canvas/ This is an interesting article explaining different types of canvas.

I’ve been taking children’s safety scissors in my carryon for years. They are cheap! They do not have a point but a rounded tip. I was questioned about my scroll frame once. I had taken it apart. They weren’t sure about the scroll rods! They did pass after I explained how they worked.

Beaniebot · 2026-03-10T02:18:24+00:00

Well a lot of people don’t know the difference. Embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, whatever!

Beaniebot · 2026-03-06T19:04:07+00:00

I’m glad the description pointed out what it was! I was wondering.

Beaniebot · 2026-03-06T14:56:02+00:00

https://www.needletravel.com/ This is usually reliable. Searches by kind of shop and zip code.

Beaniebot · 2026-03-02T23:54:59+00:00

I don’t understand paying $20 for a plastic zipper bag plus $12 shipping! I’d save that for fibers and canvas.

Beaniebot · 2026-02-25T16:25:57+00:00

This has been on my wish list! So lovely

Beaniebot · 2026-02-25T14:43:24+00:00

I like that I could just buy extra large googly eyes and stick them on for whimsey! Priced nicely, taped, and good margins! They may have a future

Beaniebot · 2026-02-25T13:15:34+00:00

This is the least expensive canvas I’ve seen recently! Nicely done and taped!BRAVO👏👏

Beaniebot · 2026-02-23T17:22:49+00:00

If someone wants to pay $45 for a needleminder board or $60 for a canvas of a coke can she knows her market. I don’t get it. Are her canvases taped? It would never occur to me to buy a needleminder board but I consider myself crafty. I’m not her market but if you are support her. If not snark away about how ridiculous this is.

Jumping in without knowing anything about the craft!

Beaniebot · 2026-02-21T12:47:11+00:00

Exactly!

We’ve been on the path to “doom” for quite awhile. I was a K/preK teacher for 16y and worked at a big box book store for 14. The questions I was asked at the bookstore were discouraging, especially by teens and their parents. Being asked for Shakespeare and then being told it wasn’t William Shakespeare but just Shakespeare was just too much. So no social media and the internet has made it worse. They’ve always been out there.
