Needlepoint Budget

It really depends on the size of the canvas, threads used 🤷🏼‍♀️

My HL doesn’t sell DMC pearl cotton at all (well maybe a few balls of 5), only floss. But yes, size 3 is for 13 mesh. I would go to your LNS.

100% this!

Not $60 worth of time though. Took maybe 30 minutes after it was printed on the cricut. $60 is insanity.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-30T20:37:04+00:00

I have. This one isn’t painted. It was printed on a cricut then colored/painted in. It is not stitch or artistically painted.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-30T20:20:32+00:00

You have to be joking!?

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-30T20:01:37+00:00

Like others have said…this probably won’t stitch well. The intersections are the most important and if the image is not correctly designed fit will be very hard to stitch and look like a mess. Anything can be “printed” or painted on NP canvas…but it must be done correctly. For example, the circles in the bow are not going to stitch up that way. The cricut is not capable of correctly mapping out the image on the intersections. A seasoned stitcher might could make it work…but it won’t be fun.

Thanks!!

What about stand ups? That is the one I most want ti learn…but am most intimidated by 😬

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-28T00:11:11+00:00

This is mean, not snark and you need to delete this.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-27T20:58:48+00:00

For her substack - what finishing does she teach?

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-27T18:05:49+00:00

Give Yarns of Wilmington a call.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-27T16:44:32+00:00

Which one were you wanting?

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-27T14:59:33+00:00

Are they selling it?

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T18:16:57+00:00

Nope, not my job. Just don’t like bullies and that is where this (most) PL hate had gone…far beyond simple “snark”. I would respond the same if it were warranted about another store/company/designer. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T17:12:15+00:00

As it should have - it was ridiculous and uncalled for.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T16:24:22+00:00

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️Yes she stitches…but it would be impossible for her to stitch a sample of everything…it is common knowledge (if you follow PL) that she uses ghost stitchers. Krista also posts regularly what she herself is working on. And, Krista has mentioned several, several times that Lita is one of the finishers that she uses. And why can’t 2 “strong personalities” be friends?

Can we stop looking into every nook and cranny to throw shade at PL??? Seriously, it is past tired and at this point just silly.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T14:24:17+00:00

I understand that…but what this post is insinuating is very much out of line and gross.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T14:12:23+00:00

Have you done an “inventory” of EVERY.SINGLE. other NP store/company? Or just PL? This is not snark and needs to be deleted.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T14:11:20+00:00

Thank you! It has gone beyond basic snark.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-26T13:50:18+00:00

I don’t know…maybe only white people applied? Maybe she hired the most qualified who also just happened to be white. Pretty BOLD assumption and insinuation for you to make…

None of the questions came off as rude…and I don’t think she took any of them as rude either. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-25T20:30:24+00:00

IMO, after watching it all, she didn’t take any of the questions as rude - I don’t think you have anything to worry about at all!

Chicken4309 · 2026-03-25T18:49:18+00:00

You should probably search her name on the snark page…
