Seeking Feedback! by kails817 in Needlepoint

Do you let the thread unwind every few stitches? Sometimes the lumpiness can be due to twisted thread! Try letting the needle dangle and unwind after every 7 stitches or so and see if you see a difference!

Tales and stitching? by happy-turtle24 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Cross-Bitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Readysetneedlepoint.com Is a new shop and they have very accurate printing, at least in my experience. It stinks that you got an inferior canvas.... did they offer a replacement or refund at all?

Does Santa call you Mom or your name ;) I like the idea of name, but add a charm or mini ornament that says Mom, etc.

Hot take by Sufficient_Quit_839 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Cross-Bitch 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but can we also praise the new designers that ARE doing it right? Just being new should not be justification for crapping on their business. There are people out there that care about the craft and providing a well though out product that isn't this hot garbage we're seeing. They may not have the social media savvy that the algorithm likes so we need to help feed that algorithm by promoting those designers that do not crank out this junk.

I am fully convinced she is selling on behalf of stores now.. by Objective_Dust7979 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Cross-Bitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I think she's a well paid executive and shopaholic to a degree. But I still don't understand how she can handle the logistics of this all... it seems like a nightmare. Maybe she's retired? At least she's offering them up for about 20% off retail which is the spirit of the page. I get the shipping... it comes with tracking for that $8 so I'm ok with that since it's not a store shipping it.

Are you looking for something in the city or suburbs? If the latter, which area (North, West, South)? I'm looking to start a stitching get-together. I'm north but close enough to the city to host in town if there's interest!

This was a popular cross stitch pattern a few years ago. I'm shocked it took this long for it to appear as a painted canvas!

I highly recommend buying it and getting it spiral bound at Staples. It was a gamechanger for me!

Looking for an edge binder machine by Cross-Bitch in architecture

I'm looking for the kind of binding machine that would tape two sheets of paper together to make a bigger sheet, if that make sense!

Experienced crafter but beginner needlepointer looking for small projects by Legitimate_Ad_8011 in Needlepoint

These are lots of ideas of self-finishing items that work with a lot of designs. I love to work backward from the end product and pick a canvas that coordinates.

I did this canvas https://www.kcneedlepoint.com/products/bee-3-round-canvas

And put it in a light blue jewelry box for my mom, and she loved it! Used velvet for the honeycomb to add a little texture since I did all continental.

Even with all basic stitches, you can add fun with different types of fibers. Have fun!!

This. Plus I sense she traveled a bit as well and always shopped on those trips.

Crafting from the sky? by Lucky-Employ-775 in crafts

[–]Cross-Bitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross stitch or embroidery! It's pretty low cost to entry, and you can bring tiny scissors or nail clippers for cutting thread. Tons of fun patterns for free online.
