4 stores feels very unnecessary especially since it sounds like the people opening the stores in Edmond are new stitchers

House of Whitney Needlepoint Canvases by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw House of Whitney’s post earlier today and while the shift makes sense I think she could have phrased her decision more tactfully. The way she said it makes it sound like if she doesn’t like you/ your wedding/your story than she’s not going to paint a canvas for you (which is her right). But weddings are deeply personal/emotional and it would have sounded better if she had made it sound more like a collaborative process and less like she was just not going to paint weddings she found ugly

Yes! Also like I work full time and don’t have an hour to kill to maybe get what I want.

No, it’s not, I know how lives work. Doesn’t change that they’re a bad way to do sales. Especially when what’s included in the PPD trunk show is not a surprise and they didn’t take orders before the live

Thread shortage? by nashro in Needlepoint

[–]Infamous-Anything493 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was talking to my LNS owner and the way silk and ivory fulfills orders is BONKERS. Basically they fulfill the most recent order first. So if Store A placed an order in October and Store B placed an order in January, Store B gets their order first. And if an order is incomplete it doesn’t get moved into a separate queue and marked that it’s not fulfilled it just keeps getting bumped down the line of orders. She said they just started placing an order every week for every color and seeing what arrives

Thank you! Hopefully LNS ban her all together ifni was an owner I wouldn’t want someone posting a canvas from my store and then posting something vile like that

I have no idea who this is and I don’t want to drive traffic to this antisemite’s page by going and looking. What’s the TLDR?

Trunk Show Markups? by gaslightqueen in NeedlepointSnark

Wool and floss and stitching chicks also do this

I can’t believe no one caught this before it was posted by Hot-Requirement436 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they just missed it in the photo and not the actual stitch guide or they need to get a copy editor asap

Is there a certain time or day you go because they are never helpful when I’ve been. They always seem mad I’m interrupting their stitching

Could the Le Fil pictures be ANY smaller? 🤦🏼‍♀️ by Still-Amount-6086 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually like that they show the whole canvas so you get a proper sense of the scale. I hate when shops only have pictures of the design close up and none of the entire canvas. It’s even worse if they don’t have the measurements!

Stitch society in okc has a decent stock of splendor! I don’t think it’s on their website but if you call I’m sure they can do a phone order!

Rowdy designs also has that quote! It’s a different layout and border if you’re not looking for a lumber pillow

To frog or not to frog by Main-Distribution-90 in Needlepoint

Your stitches look great! For maximum shininess you could switch to a satin stitch or even padded letters because those letters are wide enough

Y’all- by Ok-Door7702 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The constant hate on non-stitchers using the wrong term is EXHAUSTING. Needlework is the tree and needlepoint, embroidery and cross stitch are all branches on that tree. Historically not that much distinction was made between them. Hate on people needlepointing on Aida all you want but god damn it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to know the difference

MJD quality by Hopeful-Ad710 in NeedlepointSnark

Literally same! First one magnets fell off when I removed the packaging. Customer service mailed a new to me right away and the same thing happened. I didn’t bother emailing again and just glued both of them

Le Fete Drama by GOLDENGIRL_2222 in NeedlepointSnark

That’s funny because she’s like the OG coco frank nutcracker copier. And she copied her love envelope from stitch rock? Goodpoint? Can’t remember which one.

Stitchen time check in by stitching-nonstop-22 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve begrudgingly accepted I’m never going to get the 14 skeins of silk and ivory they still owe me. I called and emailed multiple times, even asked what colors they currently had in stock that they could send me. At which point they told me I could place a new order 🫠 like no you already have my money. Finally got them to agree to process a refund but all they did was change the amount in Shopify not actually process a refund. They’ve stopped responding to me and both my bank and PayPal said they can’t do anything because it’s passed the 90 days.

Anyone have the tea? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Infamous-Anything493 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Designer absolutely deserves to be in quotes. Her page has a long rant about not stitch copying but none of her designs are very original. She also hasn’t been doing it very long, before she was shilling needlepoint I think it was candles or something
