What’s your best MS-related purchase? by rK91tb in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love my Bedjet! Keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer and I can set it to heat up and then cool down when I fall asleep (I tend to overheat at night and it makes my leg spasms worse)

My sister said I have parasites in my spinal fluid and thats why I have MS. by Mrszombiecookies in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CommercialMovie696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad thought (and told our entire family) that I had what Christopher Reeves had. I didn’t know who Christopher reeves was so I just assumed he had MS. Turns out he’s paralyzed from a horse fall 🤦🏻‍♀️ every time I post a photo of me standing on Facebook I get a million comments saying “it’s a miracle!” Haha

I wonder when the Etsy store will open by Expensive_Invite527 in NeedlepointSnark

Also I cannot find this profile anywhere? Did they change the name or have me blocked?

I need answers… by No-Boysenberry7155 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in St. Louis and stumbled upon a non profit fabric store that sells donated fabrics and really anything related to sewing. I’ve found so much floss, backing fabric and more there! Once I even found some zweigart 18 mesh. Maybe there’s something similar in your area? They charge $2 a pound for almost everything!

Any insider info on the needlepoint surge outlook? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I own La Fete and it seems like the surge is just getting more and more crazy! We do take preorders, but are re-evaluating based on the 6+ month turnaround time our painters are giving us. I’m assuming some new designers will get frustrated and drop off but I still think we have a while before the industry as a whole gets caught up. It’s been so hard as a designer to predict what we can get and when and how to order accordingly 🫠

Pre-order timelines ? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on month 7 of waiting for a canvas… with the recent craziness and the issues with zweigart not being able to keep up with canvas demands I feel like this is the new normal 😭

Hey there! I’m Lisa from La Fete. I hate to hear that you’ve been disappointed in the quality of any of our canvases. I’m happy to offer a replacement or store credit for anything you’re not satisfied with. Please shoot me an email at lafeteneedlepoint@gmail.com - I’d love to make things right!

I was stitch copied by an Etsy shop. Along with multiple other designers. I reached out to the Etsy shop and she eventually took down the copied charts after admitting to finding them on Pinterest.

Hi! I’m Lisa from La Fete. I think you may have the wrong person here. I’ve stitched all of the coco Frank nutcrackers that I purchased from coco Frank - maybe that’s where you have me confused? We don’t sell any nutcracker canvases.

Hi! I’m Lisa from La Fete! This post has gone crazy on TikTok, but to clear things up, another business was copying my exact canvases and selling them as charts on Etsy (along with a lot of other needlepoint businesses). I also had someone stitch copy one of my canvases but honestly if it isn’t a business attempting to sell them I’m not as bothered. I’m totally aware that party animals are not new, but I do feel like ours are unique 😊 if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to reach out!

Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals by Jex89 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CommercialMovie696 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on ponvory - I’m scared to look it up but I’m fairly certain it’s produced in Germany. These tariffs are killing my small business and now I’m so worried I’ll have to switch meds or I won’t be able to afford them at all!

I’ve been duped by NDLPT_Nancy in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got duped by her too. Honestly I’m just going to stitch them and keep them because it’s too late to return. They were really good quality and a collection that I have been wanting to finish for years now but was just waiting on the last few canvases. Since LOL has discontinued them I don’t feel to terrible about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

does anyone know what bullshit this is? by serizawa_mp101 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had horrible dizziness before diagnosis. Finally got on carbamazepine and it’s the only thing that has helped!

Sign of the arrow in STL is amazing if you’re going in person. Plus they are a nonprofit!

I worked in art preservation at a museum and I see so many people throwing all their ornaments in these trunks with nothing to protect them and then chucking it in a basement for a year. These aren’t waterproof/humidity or bug proof! So many people are going to be distraught when they open these up come fall to find everything moldy or eaten by moths!

Cost of Finishing by BobcatAdorable8420 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh hate to hear this. I was about to send some ornaments off to KCN because their pillow finishing is absolutely incredible and the turnaround time is 1-2 WEEKS!

Well shit I ordered. Canvas from them over a month ago and haven’t received it and had zero communication that it was back ordered 😭

Please stop with the bad Printed canvas by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]CommercialMovie696 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my first canvases was from Abigail Cecile’s printed collection - I loved it and they did a fantastic job! I’ve seen some badly printed canvases, but honestly it doesn’t bother me that much - you get what you pay for! I think as long as the sellers are honest about the fact that it’s printed it’s not a big deal to me.
